Funds to enable a fundraising business to start-up

Hi

I'm about to launch my new fundraising business and the irony of it all is that I need to raise funds for it to launch!

Well some funds, not a lot but definitely some.

My business has a philanthropy element to it by way of donating 20% of the total value of the retail price (which are sourced from other NZ businesses) to charities, causes, events, schools, clubs etc.

I'm creating a job for myself by starting this as the job market is tough out there but I've realised that very soon the free trials for a number of software packages and my Vistaprint website will soon end and I'll have to start paying the fees! I'll also have to pay upfront for the monthly hire on a storage unit where I will initially be working from until I can find affordable rental accommodation in the BOP.

Mostly, I'd like to be able to pay for the new laptop my dear Mother offered to put on her very high interest store card mid Feb because my 4 year old laptop just up and died!! (In fairness, the intense heat and the fan sounding like a 747 jet should've given it away!)

As with any business, there is the need for the usual consumable products (ink!) and then I would finally like get out there into the community to tell everyone about my business (fuel!).

I'm going to give my business 100% of my time as it truly is my passion and I'm excited to finally be doing something that has a purpose.

Please take a look at my business website and if you are able to help me financially to ensure that I get a headstart in business rather than floundering and giving up, I would truly appreciate it.

I've set up my business to be an option to donate to on the "Who is Getting your Support Page" because I recognise people may only donate if they are getting something back in return.

Thanks for reading my bio and with my belief in paying it forward, who knows one day my business may end up helping you in some way.

Many thanks

Tracey
