Finance and support

The most common is to finance the start-up with personal funds, but if funds are missing you can turn to a financier. Procedures and conditions about financing can be different, but can normally be divided into loans, risk capital and grants.

You can benefit from mapping out your contacts before you decide on a certain type of financing. Many business start with capital lended from business connections or family or by making someone a joint owner.
