There will also be other hidden costs along you journey of setting up your business or expanding your boutique business.

The first place most people will look for finance is a bank for a bank loan, the problem with bank loans is that the bank will want you to put some of your own money down as well as the bank charging you high interest rates which most start-up businesses and businesses that are struggling will find it hard to pay back the interest alone. Below are some ideas where you could get finance for your new boutique: -

• Your Savings
• Friends and Family
• Bank Loans
• Credit Card
• Home Equity
• Business Angel Investors
• Venture Capitalists

Before you think of contacting a bank for a loan, venture capitalist or business angel investor for finance backing you should have a well laid out business plan. You need to be able to show them that you have every avenue covered from what happens if your business loses money in the first year and what you would do, to what kind of clothing you will sell in your shop, where you will get your stock from and the prices you will place on the items as well as the amount of staff you will employ the wages you will pay them.

Business Angels help new businesses with the help of finance and business advice, as they have been there and able to advice you on the best methods to bring in customers look after your customers as well as making a profit. They will also help businesses that are struggling to keep afloat with the help of finance and advice when most banks etc wouldn’t take a bit of interest. They are most likely to be entrepreneurs that have a successful business of their own and they will use their money to help your business succeed and make returns on their investment.
