1. Sell your Old Unused Properties to Raise Money

If you have laptop, TV, Home theater etc, which you know you won’t be using for the time been, sell them and use the money to start something doing. You can always buy them back when you have money from your business.
The money you may raise from those items may not be up to what you are looking for, however it can start something for you at this time. It an error to have 2 cars and still be complaining of lack of job and business. For your own benefit, don’t sell valuable asset such as land and house.

With this you can be able to raise money to start your own business. What you are required of is to have a good working smart phone with long lasting battery. Visit any warehouse closer to you that deal on wholesale items.
Discuss business deal with them that you will be bringing customers to them for a little commission; you could just add your commission to the item while marketing it. This is to say if the item is N20, 000 Naira then you go out and market it for N25, 000 Naira; you get N5, 000 Naira on any item you sell. This is what we call (Broker) a middle man between the seller and buyer.
4. Request Money from Friends and Family
A serious business personnel will not put on shame, because nothing good comes easy. Meet with your family or friends; plead for money with return interest if they won’t just help you with it. Before doing this make sure that your business idea is something that worth considering and you are pretty sure it will yield you good income in future.
5. Meet your Church for Loan or Help with Money
This is where you can easily get money as loan or help if you are well known in your church. Meet with your leader and plead for help to start a business. Your church could consider giving you a loan or just help you with it without a pay back. The church is full of kind people, so getting help won’t be much difficult if you are well known in church.
6. Sell your Hand Work to Get Money To Start Business

If you are a social media marketer, Seo expert or have Web design/development knowledge you can get contract job online for good amount of money. Web, mobile development and graphic design is one of the hit area that people are looking for everywhere online.
7. Get a paid Employment to Get Money to Start Business
If you don’t have any means of raising money for a business why not look for a job? Get any job that can be paying some good cash monthly or weekly, you don’t have to seat at home all day because you couldn’t get money to start your business.
Forget your degree and personality at this time and go look for any available job out there and start raising money. Who knows maybe from the job you could be able to raise your business capital or even run into luck where someone could sponsor your dream business.
