I have a business idea, but no money. What can I do?

I know it can be frustrating to have a small business idea but no money. However, there are things you can do. One thing you can do is simply save money, although this may not provide you with the funds you need fast enough. If grants are available that fit your needs, you can apply for those and hopefully collect funds that way, but those are becoming difficult to find. The two typical ways of raising money for your small business are seeking out potential investors, often friends or family, and applying for small business loans. In fact, the presence of investors can make being approved for loans even easier.
