Bootstrapping For The Better

Small businesses receive financing through various sources. Some are started by outside investors through limited offerings. Some take out and rely upon loans from banks and other creditors.  Some receive venture capital or assets from an angel investor.

And then there are bootstrappers.  Bootstrapping is starting and running your business as a lean, efficient and self-sufficient machine.  You’re not thinking of a large posh office; maybe a home business or shared office will do.  You don’t look for the most expensive top of the line equipment for that restaurant, instead you browse the for sale section of Craigslist because you know during bad times, deals may be had.

So now, have you thought about it?
