Q: I have no capital and no skills. How can I start my own small business?
A: Nobody is going to lend you money if you cannot prove an ability to pay it back. If you have no existing income and no skills your chance of getting startup capital is virtually zero. You have two options: Start a business which requires almost no capital (this usually means starting on the ground floor of something that involves recycling a waste product) and grow it until you have the ability to buy equipment or repay growth capital. Your other choice is to work for what you can learn and not earn, then having learnt a skill you have a chance whether through development capital or partnering with someone who has capital or existing equipment.
Q: I am looking for free business advice. Who can I contact?

Q: Who can I speak to regarding development finance
A: You can try the Small Enterprise Finance Agency (sefa)*
* I do not endorse any of the institutions mentioned above as a matter of principle I do not do business with the government or SOCs/SOEs (State Owned Companies/Entities).
