Startup Capital: How do you find the capital to start your SME?
Setting up a company is costly. The entrepreneur must use all possible imaginable means to finance his company.
Acquiring enough startup capital is often difficult, unless you are able to use your own funds or capital from friends and family. If loans from friends and family are not enough, external funds will be necessary. However, entrepreneurs can only expect to receive credit from a bank if they have the necessary collateral.
Business angels, who contribute to start-ups with venture capital, are a rare species in Switzerland (Business Angels).
