When all else fails and you’re down to the last of your savings and/or you’ve ran out of family or friends as potential investors, you can try to obtain small business funding on your own terms with a private lender.

If you fail at securing a startup or small business loan through a private lender, then don’t fret.

You can always attempt to seek investors for your startup through a nifty little company called StartEngine.

Through StartEngine, not only can you raise funds for your own startup business, you can also invest into other Startup businesses.
