At the sweet conference I attended yesterday, one of the speakers talked about different ways to get money for your business without taking a loan.
She mentioned grants and also borrowing money from family and friends. But the speaker focused more on borrowing from people you know, because getting a grant is not easy.
She even gave an example of someone who borrowed money from her classmate’s dad.
The speaker said she also wrote a simple business proposal and showed it to her uncle, and the uncle gave her the money she needed. But she explained something very important, your family or friends must see that you are serious and doing something meaningful before they can trust you with their money.
Also, if they give you money, you must use it for the exact business you said you would use it for.
And very important, you must pay back the money if that's your agreement. There are some family that will tell you they dash you the money.
She said if you don’t return the money, it will be very hard for them to trust you again. You might not even have the confidence to go back and ask unless you no get shame 😂😂
Since that yesterday, I have been thinking maybe I should go and borrow money from my classmate's dad too😂
I hope you've learnt something new??
