In some cases you may have existing contacts which can help get some initial funding but that also will be limited because the inherent risks involved.

The best source of funds is the family or friends and these sources of funds have proved to be the one all over the world which have actually fuelled the entrepreneurial ambitions of a lot of folks all over the world.
