I need funding for a new startup business

    I have a business idea and I am trying to collect about $10,000 in funding for development of site and advertising and hosting (obviously does not all need to come from 1 person, but I want a minimum of $250 invested if you want to invest).

    I have checked all legalities and I have someone who can create the site and do all the coding (which there is a lot of).

    If you are interested contact me for details about this. OR contact me on AIM: neal41835. I am offering pretty good return on your money (around 15 to 1), but it is a gamble on your part because if site fails, then I won't refund, but basically you have a shot to 15x your money or more in just under 1 years time.

    Let me know!

    Have you considered:

    - a bank loan
    - an SBA micro loan
    - credit card financing (some '0% interest for a year' offers)
    - family members

    I'd say those are better options than asking forum members, IMHO.

    I agree. The chances of getting investors without lots of detail, iTrader and a business plan are low.

    If you are of age you can always get a loan from a bank. Or if you don't wanna pay back all that interest you could just start earning money online until you reach 10k for this project of yours.

    P.s you can always try to go to the casino and play slots or another game for awhile till you win big :)

    Did you know that you can start a business and enhance your retirement portfolio at the same time? Starting a business with 401k Contributions is another option for entrepreneurs to start a business, and is becoming more common in today’s economic environment.

    You got $10,000 and your looking for people to fund you $250... right..

    Looks like a big project, don't think it would be worth your time to get people to fund you $250 and explaining to everyone who is interested how they shares and all would work.

    Since you are posting here it probably means you cannot qualify for a loan so your best bet is friends or family with more details.

    That kind of public request might be illegal.

    I doubt it, but I won't condemn the notion.

    OP: There is a site for this exact purpose, and I cannot remember its name, nor can I be bothered to go google for it - there is a site that connects small business starters with investors though....

    The whole thing works on a similar way as guru/freelance sites, but for ideas and investments. good luck, I'm sure it won't be too hard to find once you crack your fingers and bustle in google.
