Very good advice to foolow!

And the one thing that should be emphasized is the fact that when you are seeking funding it is the funder that you have to convince

A question that I would like to ask though is why you want to start on such a large scale basis. Have you considered starting small or is starting with an outside business is the way you want to start?

Are they financing options? Sure there are but you have to remember that whether it be grants or loans or even both you have to show them why they should help fund you.
