If you want to start a business but you do not have the capital for your business, how will you launch your business? You need capital for your business to develop, design, or acquire products, you need capital to set up your business (set up an office, rent office space, rent warehouse, etc.), you need money to hire staff for your business, you need money to market your products. You need money to make money. If you do not have enough capital, you cannot do your business properly. You need start-up capital as well as paid up capital to run the business.

A business starts with capital. Let us say you have a desire to sell shoes. In order to plan your business, you need capital. If you do not have the capital for your shoe business you cannot develop your products or acquire products for selling. Without capital, you cannot do a business. When people say you can do a business with zero investment, you need to understand either this is a lie or there are a lot of terms and conditions attached. Business planning requires capital. What kind of business you can do depends on how much money you have with you.

When it comes to investing in business a lot of people relate investing with investing money, giving time for your business is also an investment. While setting up a business requires money as you have to pay office rents, spend money on furniture, etc. hiring competent staff is also an investment, just like the products you are selling are your assets, your employees are also assets, therefore, you will also have to invest in your staff. Building a social presence on social sites is also an investment. Spending money on ads and marketing is also an investment. A business needs different kinds of investment.

Even though some people might tell you that you don't need money to start a business, that is not true. You need money to start a business. How much money you need depends on what kind of business you are doing and how you are doing it. If you have planned something big (a business that needs big investment) instead you start with small capital, your business might be affected badly. When you do not have enough capital, you will not have funds to launch new products, you will not have enough marketing budget and you will not have money to hire experienced workers.

Investing in Businesses: Low-Cost Business Ideas

In order to invest, you need money. If you have money to invest, you will have to do research on various areas. You can invest in real estate, on the stock market, in businesses, etc. Your research will tell you whether the investment will be profitable or not. Before you invest your money, you need to check the company profile and its performance over the years.

The only way to get rich is by investing money or starting a business. You can never become rich with freelancing service, you can never become rich with a job. Even when you are investing, investing $100-$200 is not going to make you rich, you need to invest a lot of money, possibly over $100 thousand to make your investment work for you. Even when you are trying to become rich with a business, it might take a small business forever to become rich. if your business is big, you might be able to make a lot of money. In other words, you need to be already rich to become richer.

Does this mean that you cannot start a business if you do not have a lot of money?

Well, that’s not true. There are businesses that can be started for a small investment and you can sell have a hope to make a lot of money.

You can sell printables on Etsy, or on any other marketplaces like ebay, Zazzle, amazon, etc. . You do not need a sophisticated program to create digital printables, you can try creating templates on canva, it is free and easy to use. If you know photoshop and illustrator, that's fine but even if you do not know how to use these programs, you can still use a free tool like Canva to create printables. Another great program to create printables is adobe spark. Since this is the program created by the same people who created photoshop, I really like this adobe spark.

Etsy is a marketplace to sell handmade items and they classify print-on-demand items as handmade items. Etsy is certainly a big marketplace, there are over 500 million monthly visitors, but etsy might not be the best platform because you will have to pay 20 cents per product listing. You will also have to run ads because without running ads, no one is going to notice your product and when people do not notice your product, you are not making any sales. For newbies, Redbubble is a better platform, you can start with zero money, you don't have to pay listing fees.
