In this case, an entrepreneur can raise his own finance or seek other alternative methods such as startup loans to obtain the finances to continue operation and perhaps even grow at a later stage of the business.<\/p>\n<p>Every startup business has different financial needs and timelines based on its objectives and&nbsp;<a class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nexea.co\/what-is-startup-culture\/\">startup culture<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is A Startup Loan?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Startup loans<\/strong> are financing means that are meant to help with the financial needs of a new business. Business startup loans proceeds can go towards things like working capital; the purchase of equipment, machinery, supplies, inventory, and furniture; and the purchase of construction equipment or real estate.<\/p>\n<p>Every country and its government has its own rules and regulations that they implement to provide startups with grants and startup loans. Just to put startup loans into perspective, take an example of the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"694\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nexea.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Startup-Loans-1024x694.png\" alt=\"Startup Loans \" class=\"wp-image-105817\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Startup Loans: UK <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The image exhibits the maximum amount of financing the government offers to startups, interest rates alongside the requirements to be able to qualify for being a startup.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Startups<\/h3>\n<p>Before we get into detail about startup loans and it&#8217;s alternatives, Silicon Valley entrepreneur, Steve Blank, describes there being six different types of startups that exist in today&#8217;s business world.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Lifestyle Startups. <\/strong>They are self-employed individuals who work for no one, but themselves. In Silicon Valley, such professionals are&nbsp;freelance&nbsp;coders or web designers, who love their jobs,&nbsp;because of passion.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Small Business Startups.<\/strong> These are small businesses like bakers, hairdressers who basically run their business to earn enough of a living.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Scalable Startups.<\/strong> These are born to make it big someday. Twitter, Uber and Facebook are an example of such with a scalable business model constantly seeking capital for growth. Often scalable startups group together in&nbsp;innovation clusters.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Buyable Startups.<\/strong> These are born to be bought over by other larger firms at some point in their life cycle. Their goal is not to build a billion-dollar company, but to be sold to a larger company.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Large Company Startups.<\/strong> Changes in customer preferences, new technologies, legislation issues, new competitors create pressure, forcing&nbsp;large companies to create new innovative products for new customers in new markets, they either have to innovate or they go out of business.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Social Startups. <\/strong>These startups have the mission to make the world a better place, not from the perspective of wealth, but through an idea. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alternatives to Startup Loans<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"861\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nexea.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Screenshot-2021-02-16-at-10.13.36-AM-1024x861.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-113975\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>There are various methods an entrepreneur can raise finance for their startup, this section is relevant for startups seeking loans in Malaysia. There are six main sources of startup loans in Malaysia: government funding,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nexea.co\/what-is-crowdfunding\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">crowdfunding<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nexea.co\/angel-investors\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">angel investors<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nexea.co\/venture-capital\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">venture capitals<\/a>, self-financing and bank loans.<\/p>\n<p>See our insights for further detail on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nexea.co\/list-of-startup-grants-malaysia\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Government Grants for Startups in Malaysia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Family and Friends.<\/strong>&nbsp;Raising a startup loan from friends or family members or acquiring funds from people you know is a tried and proven method of getting a business off the ground. While your family and friends may want to support your venture, try not to rely on a handshake and verbal agreement if you borrow money from them. Instead, consider drawing up a formal loan agreement that covers all the terms and conditions regarding your funding, including when the loan must be repaid, what the repayment schedule should look like, and any interest rate to be charged. A formal agreement might seem awkward at first, but it preserves relationships in the long run.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Angel Investors.<\/strong>&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/nexea.co\/angel-investors\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Angel investors<\/a>&nbsp;are individuals with the money to back startups and aspiring business owners. Unlike venture capitalists, angel investors are generally solo and not involved with a board or firm. But, similar to VCs, angel investors generally expect a return on their investment, as they\u2019ve purchased some form of equity or ownership from your company. More about angel investment and NEXEA\u2019s role in angel investment will be discussed later in this article.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Venture Capital.<\/strong>&nbsp;A&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nexea.co\/venture-capital\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">venture capitalist<\/a>&nbsp;(VC) is a type of private investor who funds promising startup companies. Venture capitalists are often members of a larger venture capital firm. These firms often have boards that vote on which companies they\u2019ll back.&nbsp; If the company is chosen by the venture capital firm, a VC will reach out with a funding offer. Traditionally, venture capitalists buy equity in a company, meaning they expect a payout in one form or another, if and when the company is successful.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>P2P Lending.<\/strong>&nbsp;Peer-to-peer (P2P) lending is a form of startup loans that enables individuals to obtain loans directly from other individuals, cutting out the financial institution as the middleman. P2P lending differs from crowdfunding, their primary difference is that money that is obtained through P2P, has to be returned whereas crowdfunding has no such repayment rules. P2P lending is regulated by the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC). Before you start investing in a P2P lending platform, check if it has been&nbsp;licensed&nbsp;under the SC.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Crowdfunding.&nbsp;<\/strong>In a scenario where a startup has little to no funding, crowdfunding is the way to go. Crowdfunding can be accomplished by holding local or digital events, but it\u2019s more commonly accomplished through crowdfunding platforms, like Kickstarter or Indiegogo. These platforms make it possible for users to easily browse thousands of ideas and back the ones they\u2019re interested in.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Government Grants.&nbsp;<\/strong>The government offers several types of&nbsp;small business grants for Malaysian businesses&nbsp;to help new businesses launch. For example,&nbsp;<strong>Cradle Investment Programme (CIP) \u2014<\/strong>&nbsp;If you run a tech startup, check out this Ministry of Finance funding source designed to move you from the \u201cgreat idea\u201d stage to a functional business. Innovative tech ideas that show strong commercial potential are eligible for up to RM50,000 per idea. There are many other means of raising finance in terms of startup loan for new businesses that are supported by the government. See the available and updated list of government grants that are available for startups in Malaysia&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nexea.co\/list-of-startup-grants-malaysia\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Every business is unique. No funding solution is right for everyone, so think about where your business is and what you\u2019re comfortable doing. Talk to a financial advisor or speak with a financial institution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, you\u2019ll come to a decision that\u2019s right for your startup and find the funding you need. From there, you can focus on bringing your product or service to those who need you most. Below is a video, summarizing these options for startup loan and how they work briefly, yet detailed.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Government Grants and Startup Loans for Small-Medium Enterprise in Malaysia (2020)<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nexea.co\/list-of-startup-grants-malaysia\/\" class=\"ek-link\"><strong>Government Grants (2023)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There are several ways to get financial aid for your SME in Malaysia.

Before you decide what type of startup loans are best for you, make sure you consider all the factors:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Be self-aware.<\/strong>&nbsp;Before you do anything else, spend time evaluating your business and how lenders see you. A quick credit check will help you understand your score, which is one factor involved, but you also need to know your debt-to-equity ratio before choosing a startup loan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Consider repayment terms.<\/strong>&nbsp;What is the length of time? What does the payment schedule look like? Can you pay off the startup loan early, or do you have to wait until maturation?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Take your time.<\/strong>&nbsp;The absolute worst thing you can do is rush into picking a startup loan option. Prematurely selecting startup loans, only to figure out a month from now that you chose the wrong one, can be devastating to your business. Be patient and carefully evaluate all of your options before proceeding too far in the process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Below is a summary of all methods for startup loans as well as alternatives to raising capital for your startup:<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"568\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nexea.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/8-Options-1-568x1024.png\" alt=\"Startup Loans \" class=\"wp-image-113979\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Startup Loans and Its Alternatives<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">References<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.startuploans.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Startup Loans in the U.K.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/getslurp.com\/blog\/12-government-grants-for-sme-malaysia\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Government Grants for SME\u2019s in Malaysia<\/a><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Updated: 29\/06\/2023 One of the biggest challenges a new small business and startup must face is obtaining the capital necessary to support their initial growth.
