Start-up without cashQuestion How can I start a business without capital?
Answer The short answer is, you can't. Unless you start REALLY small and REALLY slow.
If you can't put up real assets to back a bank loan, you won't be able to borrow money for your start up. In most countries it is illegal for banks to loan money without collateral. If you need startup capital and don't have assets to risk, then you need an investor partner. Search for more on acquiring investors.
