I think that you've forgot to mention about banks and other creditors. Most start off by getting a bank loan to finance their business. This might be one of the hardest ways to finance your business start-up if you don't have a business plan. Generally, most bankers are skeptical to loan you money if you're young and inexperienced and especially if you're not too sure about your business. If you have a great business plan, however, then you will be able to prove to them that you'll be able to repay your loan.

Thanks for sharing that with us Sam.

Do you have any examples of what you refer to as "Unusual Sources"?

[Nazreen]

I've just watched Rain Man again so I would guess that "Unusual Sources" would be sources like winnings from the casino or horse racing. This I think would be quite unusual and uncommon because not many people can win consistently by gambling.

Inheritance and insurance payouts or even funds that are acquired through unscrupulous means might also belong to the category "Unusual Sources".

All these are important sources. But before approaching them, you must have a valid paper and all information regarding your business. You must be able to satisfy them on getting success in the business that you start. First plan out your business. Think why you need to start and try to work for it.

All are important sources but all have risks of their own. In my opinion public offerings is the best among the four....as risk are minium because their is limited liability with it...
