Posted by Molly Nelson - As any of my friends can tell you, I love cupcakes. But I have to
say it had never occurred to me that cupcakes could help start a small
business that had nothing to do with baking. According to this Wall Street Journal article,
entrepreneurs are finding creative ways to raise the money they need
for their businesses since loans are still difficult for small-business
owners to obtain.
From selling cupcakes to turning to friends and neighbors for
investments, small-business owners seem to be using innovative ideas to
find the funding they need. Have you used any creative and different
ideas to get financing for your small business? Share your comments
