Problem: Currently, all funding for your used book store business comes from a rich relative. What other forms of funding (e.g. stock, bonds, venture capital) might be logical alternatives for your business and what would you need to do to qualify for them? How would the risks of such alternative funding sources compare with the risk of continuing to fund your business through a relative? Given this, how would you fund your business in the future?
Identify at least two financing options for your start-up company. Describe the option, how it works, and the risks involved.
