Running head: STARTUP FUNDING 1 Startup Funding Name Professor Course Date STARTUP FUNDING 2 Startup Funding Start-up funds are the capital that is required to start a business or company for various purposes such as permits, office space, inventory, new product development, and marketing among others. The start-up capital may come in various ways but mostly, the start-up owners are usually required to give a certain percentage stake from their ownership in order to get an equivalent amount of money. Endeavors such as non-governmental organizations and charities, often get grants to aid in their start-up. Debt is another way of getting start-up funding where one is required to pay back the money including interest. Working capital is referred to as the money that a business requires for its daily operations. This is calculated as current assets minus current liabilities. The working capital is a good way to measure the well-being of a business. The business should be able to meet its own short-term operational costs. There are many options to get funding for the business. The most effective ways of raising money are by boot-strapping (Barrette, 2018). This basically means that I will invest my own money into the business. This is good as it also reflects my confidence in the business. The second way of funding my business is by using investors. Investors have large pools of money and control large assets. They often exchange money for shares in the business and some bring their expertise on board. By investing my own money, I will be able to win the confidence of the investors. The third way is by using accelerators at the beginning about the first 2-4 months. The will give funding in exchange for shares while providing programs such as mentorship. STARTUP FUNDING 3 References Barrette, A. (2018). A Beginner’s Guide to Funding a Startup. Available at Running head: TARGET MARKET SEGMENT Target Market Segment Kevin Moses Mr.William Creamer BUS 313 8/12/18 1 TARGET MARKET SEGMENT 2 Target Market Segment My Business is a Micro Funding Company with the aim of providing financial safety of individuals through savings and loan provisions. The primary target market segment is one that will readily purchase our services (Wedel & Kamakura, 2012). It comprises of individuals and small business owners as they are attracted to the less stringent terms and conditions of borrowing in a Micro-funding company. My company will embark on giving extended periods for repayment and smaller interest rates margins than banking institutions which will be appreciated by this target group. Secondly, this population is characterized by small/few income streams. Therefore, the Micro-funding strategy for providing small-scale saving programs with lesser minimum deposits than ordinary banks will readily attract them. Thirdly, my business is a small-scale type of funding institution; there may not be enough resources to fund large projects. Therefore, it makes sense to target a population that may not require vast amounts of funds. The secondary target market segments are those customers that the business would like to target in the future and often influenced by the primary target market segment (Wedel & Kamakura, 2012). For this business, the secondary target market segment consist of medium-sized businesses and large-sized institutions. Firstly, my Micro-funding company is small but with high growth potential, foregoing this clientele for the future gives room for growth to be able to meet their needs. Secondly, the small-scale businesses the company will support will mushroom to become the mid-sized and large enterprises I hope to target in the future. It therefore is necessary to focus on services to aid their growth while adjusting to the TARGET MARKET SEGMENT 3 growth patterns of member businesses. Lastly, medium and large-sized institutions are secondary buyers that may not readily purchase services as they rely on referrals and business reputation of other companies. Having them as secondary targets will also give room to establish resources and strategies to increase competitive power to attract and retain their loyalty in the long-run.
