As they say ‘you need money to make money’. But the problem is that you have only a small budget on your hand but there are many more requirements. Here are some tips for starting a business with a small budget.

• Maximize your budget by getting money from all possible ways; including your savings, loans, and from friends and partners. But you much keep your total risk to an affordable level.
• Prioritize your startup requirements into ‘most needed’ (like raw-materials, employees, business place, etc), ‘needed’ (like special systems, marketing costs, etc), ‘moderately needed’ (like supporting systems, cash backup, extreme marketing and selling costs, etc), ‘less needed’ (like decorations, personal interests, etc).
• Analyze cost needed to each above prioritized products. Look for cheap but quality products and look for special plans and schemes.
• Negotiate with providers for discounts, if possible make some offer to them – teach them how they can benefit by joining hands with you. You can also find many second hand products at cheaper rates.
• Buy/arrange all most needed items first, then needed ones, and so on, as long as you have money in hand.
