Funding for a small business start-up can come from a myriad of sources. This has nothing to do with funding, but is something you may want to consider, nonetheless. I ran a small business for 5 years. My passion was guns. I went to trade school and learned to become both a machinist, and a gunsmith. “Heck”, everybody told me, “if you have to earn a living, you might as well earn a living doing something you love.” It took about 1 year to realize that making a living from something I loved, took every last ounce of “love” and “fun” right out of it. ---
