You don't need money to start up you need money to backup /upgrade the business, start-up in whatever small way and get the experience first, because every business has it's own teething period having gone through, understanding the what it takes with your financial statement your can then apply for a loan, or grant if the need be.

I appreciate the above responses by Mr. Obisanya and i have followed what Mr. Matt Evans has provided on the same.
