How do I raise business capital?

Looking into a safety compliance and recycling operation. What will be the best capital raising avenue to take while avoiding the big bank bureaucracies?

There are a couple of requirements that are needed before approaching anyone for Business Capital.
You must develop a detailed Business Plan that can be shown to investors. when you have done that these are some areas to look for capital
1) Family, friends
2) Local, State, and Federal Government. they all have grants and venture capital available to small business. and recycling is very well accepted by them
3) try credit unions, small banks,
4) look in investment magazines, papers etc. people are always looking for a company to invest in

Unfortunately, contrary to popular belief, there are no grants available for starting a for-profit business. The first step in raising capital is creating a succinct business plan - be sure to let the reader know why they are reading the plan... tell them what you need. From there, you should have a very good idea for how much money you will need to have. Then pursue equity and debt investments with this business plan and a presentation. Be sure to have a 30-second elevator speech prepared for networking to raise money and bring awareness about your business.

For capital, consider bringing in a partner that you can trust who has similar interests in your business proposal. If you need enough money, approach angel investors and venture capitalists who have an interest in your product. For debt, you could approach small community banks for a small business loan. There are also internet banks that provide small business loans (see a couple below) with relatively quick turnaround.

u can raise business capital by issuing shares and debentures to the public.
