Hey guys, firstly I’m only asking for ADVICE not begging for investment or money.

I can’t afford the costs associated with starting up my next business, these are under £10,000

Now wondering, what routes could be doable to fund this?

I don’t want to hand over any control, just basically need a way to get these funds to start up. I have a current business but it really doesn’t turn enough profit to do this, I could seek investment for more stock for current business which may help as it does sell albeit sort of slowly.
