Friends and Friends is the first port of call when looking for financing a small venture. If your family and friends are not confident enough to advance you a little money for your business, then there’s a great chance that no one else will. If your friends and family are not in a financial position to help you, then perhaps, they can point you to someone who can. Just remember that your family and your friends are the people that know you best and if you are confident enough about your business you should present the investment opportunity to them first.
