How to Start and Fund Your Own Business: A Step-by-Step Guide
Starting your own business is one of the most exciting decisions you can make—but it can also feel overwhelming. From legal paperwork to getting the money you need to get going, there’s a lot to consider. The good news? You don’t have to do it alone, and you don’t need to be rich to get started.
At Oracle Consulting, we specialize in helping new and aspiring entrepreneurs launch and fund their businesses, even if they have limited credit, little collateral, or no experience.
Here’s a simple breakdown of how to start—and fund—your own business the smart way.
Step 1: Choose a Business Idea You Can Commit To
Ask yourself:
What skills do I have that others will pay for?
What problems can I solve?
Is there demand for this product or service?
Whether it's a cleaning service, online store, food truck, or consulting business, start with something you're passionate about and willing to build step by step.
Step 2: Make It Official—Register Your Business
Once you have your idea:
Choose a business structure (most startups choose LLC for flexibility)
Register with your state
Get an EIN (Employer Identification Number) from the IRS
Open a business bank account
This not only makes you legit—it separates your business finances from your personal ones, which is important when applying for funding later.
Step 3: Set Up the Basics
You don’t need a fancy office or website on day one. But you do need to be reachable and presentable:
Create a business email and phone number
Build a simple website or social media page
Set up a system to accept payments (like Stripe, PayPal, or Square)
Step 4: Get Funding to Grow
Here’s the part that holds many people back—but it doesn’t have to.
At Oracle Consulting, we help new business owners access funding through:
Startup capital
Equipment financing
Working capital loans
Business lines of credit
You don’t need perfect credit or years in business. Many of our clients get approved with:
3–6 months of bank statements
$ 5 K+ monthly revenue
No collateral required
Even if you’re just getting started, we’ll guide you through what’s needed to pre-qualify and match you with the right lenders.
Step 5: Launch, Learn, and Keep Growing
Once your business is funded and ready, it's time to launch. Start small, keep your expenses low, and reinvest your early profits. Ask for feedback, adjust your services, and never stop learning.
Remember: Most successful businesses didn’t start perfect—they just started.
