’’Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.’’

Wondering what the term actually refers to in the field of financing? Well the business dictionary defines boot strapping as follows: “It is basically a type of business funding that does not depend on outside investors or outside banks for debt. The owner needs to actually shell out money from his/her own pocket and hence, there is an increased level of risk in this type of funding.”

In more common terms, it is initiating a small business with your own money by accommodating funds through your known and own sources. Nevertheless, a universal fact that needs to be understood here is that to start any business one needs motivation, self-discipline and a focus coupled with hard work and dedication.

Agreed that are many types of funding that are available but to choose if boot strapping is the best optimum type of funding that is suitable for you or not, you need to have an idea about its advantages and disadvantages.

You cannot be sure that the other person would be as focused and dedicated as you.

If your customer doesn’t buy your product then obviously your business collapses and lands you in debts. So every decision is taken with the customer in mind. The overall focus of your company would be to improve the customer experience in addition to, expanding the user base.
