I see 8-10 requests per week from people needing start-up money. And yes, capital is always difficult to find – especially with businesses that tend to use service, information or technology. So, does that mean it’s impossible to launch a great idea? Absolutely not!!

According to the most recent Bureau of Census data, these are the figures for money needed for new businesses:

1% needed $1,000,000 or more

14% needed $25,000 — $999,999

10% needed $10,000 — $24,999

9% needed $5,000 — $9,999

34%
