How do I raise capital for starting my own retail business?

want to start a retail shop that sells all kinds of gadgets...who do i go to for capital?

If you are starting a sales business or anything that will create a revenue based on a contract, you can get your first contract and bring that to your bank and get a loan equal to that contract amount using it as collateral. Believe it or not, this is actually how Nike was started. They made one shoe, not a pair, just one shoe and sold a multi million dollar contract to a sporting goods store. They brought the executed contract to the bank and got a loan to start the actual company!

Your bank?
Otherwise wait for your tax refund, if you're getting one. :)

A couple other options are loans & grants -- see links in the sources box.

I also listed what came up on Google for "retailer associations" -- perhaps one of these associations could help you further.

Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!
