About "Self Financing for your Startup...." topic:

Once you have decided on the type of venture you want to start, the next step on the road to business success is figuring out where the money will come from to fund it. Where do you start?

The best place to begin is by looking in the mirror. Self-financing is the number-one form of financing used by most business startups. In addition, when you approach other financing sources such as bankers, venture capitalists or the government, they will want to know exactly how much of your own money you are putting into the venture. After all, if you don't have enough faith in your business to risk your own money, why should anyone else risk theirs?  So, let us discuss everything about self financing for your startup.....

Yes Veena self financing is the best option since the start up is always taken double care off. In case of VC funding somebody will be serious but not to the full extent since most of the funds belongs to somebody else.

it depends on the nature of investments and risk potentionals Thumb rule is higher risk = big investments = higer returns In this case VC funding is best For small scale setup Owned capital is Best than the borrowed capital

Mr Raghavan, If your argument (9 out of 10 she will take a softer approach) was true, then Mrs Indira Gandhi should have applied for asylum either in the US or UK. History says that she was neither confused nor was she afraid of anything or...

But be careful not to overextend yourself when dipping into your own finances Many entrepreneurs have launched or grown their business with their own cash or money from friends and family. Some chose this route because the banks turned them down but others didn't want to give up control to a banker or venture capitalist. If you're set on going it alone and self-financing your business, pay close attention to these rules:    1. Carefully calculate how much financing you'll need to successfully launch (or maintain) your business, making sure you do not underestimate the amount.    2. Do not invest more than you can comfortably afford to lose should the business fail.    3. Read the fine print...

Hi Sudeep. Seeing that you're a "senior consultant" with IBM and have asked such a question, this smells very much like the 'hook' part of a sales pitch to me. But I'll 'bite the bait' anyway because there is 'no risk' involved. I can pompously...

Self -Realization  Desire is the root of all knowledge, action and thinking. It is the cause of our entire universe with all its grief, stress, and strain. Yet all of us seek only to fulfill our desires. We believe that freedom is to be able to be able to do what we want, i.e., fulfill all our desires. Success is to achieve all we desire and happiness is to enjoy all we desire. Rather than seeking a state of  desirelessness , we wish to attain a state wherein we can fulfill all that we desire. And therefore, are we not envious of people who have everything they desire? Do we not feel attracted to and worship those who can produce and attain anything by mere will or wish? Do we not day dream of indulging and gorging on all we desire? Would it not be wonderful if all we wanted came to us with out us having to lift our little finger? Such a state of fulfillment of desires is promised to us by scriptures and the wise through SELF- realization. The self is infinite and infinity alone is...

Steps to take in creating a powerful and rewarding 2012: Write yourself a letter describing your dreams and desires for 2012. Include all the aspects of your life—your business, vacations and new opportunities you would like to explore. Keep adding to the list for a few days. Our thoughts will keep multiplying when we give ourselves the freedom to be honest and not pass any judgment on our vision. When you feel your list is complete, create different categories for your ideas (business, vacations, social events, family and friends). Plug the ideas into the different categories. You will be amazed what thoughts surface. Congratulations, you now have your dream list.  Choose both a big and a small dream you would like to accomplish. Plan the two steps you will take this week for each dream. Remember, as my mother always said, “Rome was not built in a day.” Taking time during this quiet time to plan for a powerful and rewarding 2012 is a beautiful gift you are giving yourself.  ENJOY...

Social entrepreneurship in India is making greater strides towards inclusiveness by involving every strata of society to tap into the momentum and growth of the country. However, in spite of several initiatives, social entrepreneurship eco-system in India is not coming together as well as it needs to.  Their focus and collaboration on solutions should be directed towards not merely one-off acts of charity, but adding up to a vast array of sustainable services across sectors and industries that help people at the base of the pyramid, which is not happening in the country now.  In the post-independent era, many enterprising men with social bent of mind had ventured into setting up educational institutions, which helped the country to move out of the chaotic state into a vibrant and democratic environment. But over the decades, these established institutions which laid the foundation for modern India, because of their sheer size, were forced to evolve into large business enterprises...

Day trading refers to the practice of buying and selling financial instruments within the same trading day such that all positions will usually (not necessarily always) be closed before the market close of the trading day. This is different from After-hours trading. Traders that participate in day trading are called day traders. Some of the more commonly day-traded financial instruments are stocks, stock options, currencies, and a host of futures contracts such as equity index futures, interest rate futures, and commodity futures. Day trading used to be the preserve of financial firms and professional investors and speculators. Many day traders are bank or investment firm employees working as specialists in equity investment and fund management. However, day trading has become increasingly popular among casual traders due to advances in technology, changes in legislation, and the popularity of the internet.
