How do I raise equity capital to buy a business?

Work, and work, bud.

Are you sure you want to raise equity capital? That will take away some of your say-so in the business. Here's an article on financing a small business that might help.

If equity financing is really what you had in mind then I suggest drawing up a good business plan and taking it to people you might know and trust, talk to banks and find out if there are business groups looking to invest, talk with community business leaders and try to drum up interest amongst them, etc.

Here's another article on business plans if you haven't squared that part away.

Best of luck!

A business plan (well written) is a MUST to get anywhere in the investment community. You will need it for operating your business too.

If you have a plan, send an email to me and I'll provide some feedback.
