To run any business no matter how small it's you will always need a capital. How do you want to run the business, if you think about it, you will see it's not possible. Firstly, you will need money to buy goods to your shop or you will need money to buy resources to produce or let's assume you want to collect on credit, you may still need to make a deposit.....So not possible!

It is very possible that you can earn money without actually investing anything but then it is going to be other you are not getting your time or your marketing a skill that you have. For example if you volunteer to help out in a community project under the end of the day you have been paid you did not make any investment in it but have any money

The only business one can do without capital will be online business. There is no offline business that won't need capital. Capital forms the basic when listing factors of production. But if there is no no capital, there are many ways to source for capital instead of allowing capital to be the setback. But some do sell their business ideas to some rich people though.
Exactly have never seen any offline business that does not require any capital , although some online requires little or no capital but to make more money and profit , the person needs to spend and invest a lot into the business to benefit and gain more from the investment , those who sell their business idea might want to sell it fast so that it won't be intiated or carried out

We all know that before we can plan or start a business, the first thing we should consider is the capital. We where taught from our younger age that before we start a business, we must have a good business idea first and learn about the business then the last and important aspect is the capital that will be used to set up the business.
Capital in form of money is what am talking about. Without money many people believe that we can't do business.
But I don't know if there is any other business one can venture into with capital.
I will like to know about the business one can do without any capital involved. Thanks.
There is no way you can start a business without a capital this is totally impossible because how can you employ labours? Even the good or materials you will use I don't think you will get them free so you need to have money before you can start a business.

If you want to start a business without capital then it will involve one of the two things. It is either you want to market your skill or you want to market your time. There are some people that have skills like writing skills and they can just reach out to people to give them writing gigs for their company and as such they do not need any money to start such a business.

Definitely. there is no way someone will run a business successfully without capital because capital is very important in all aspects of business ranging from marketing to other important things which is necessary to facilitate the growth of the business. if you have the capital you also need to have the knowledge and understanding of how to run business successfully.
Exactly absolutely no way capital is the engine of the business , except the business doesn't want to succeed that much , because with capital there are more certainty of the business acheiving huge growth since the owner of the business could buy the needed equipment and materials needed for the business to succeed

I think it's impossible to do that , because you need capital to run the business properly and for you to get more gains to make the business more effective in all areas , you could possibly get your capital in form of loan and others but you surely would need it to run and also start the business you aim at starting , except you don't want to start a business

Yeah maybe you can start one online without needing any capital like you start affiliate marketing. You just need to register on the site then you are good to go. For offline you can still do but you need a good reputation and connection. Connect is about people you know and they know them you too and trust you before you can get goods on credit. So yes it is possible

Of course there are several businesses you can start especially online without capital. you can start affiliate marketing without capital in the sense that you will work hard enough in order to get traffic to your affiliate offers. when it comes to offline business, I don't actually think there is any way you can start without investing a little capital.

In our Economics subject in high school, what was emphasized are the 3 elements of business which are Land, Labor and Capital. Without the 3 you cannot operate a business. Land is the location and labor is the attendant. That means capital is a salient element of business so my answer is NO, you cannot start a business without capital.

It is possible to start a business with out a capital but you may not earn money. For example, you can start an affiliate marketing business without investment but you cannot earn without promotion and promotion requires money. YOu can start selling on ebay or facebook without money but you need to run ads to generate sales
 

Good luck

Starting up a business needs a minimum start up capital.Even online business need a data for connection which is also inform of money,which is capital.For every business to grow and boost,one needs to invest little capital and gradually,it will required a large sum of capital to make it big.

You do not need capital to start an affiliate marketing. Earn commission by Just getting hold of another person's product and then market it.
CPA marketing too do not require capital to start except you want to promote your links through monetary means.
Couple of online business you can dive into without capital , it just need time and some rigorous work

Starting a business without capital will be hard, getting investor might be an option, but one will need a very good business Idea that will be very attractive enough to draw investor, and that might also mean that the business owner will have to compromise because the investor will come with their terms and conditions that will be in their best interest.
even with that you will not just be able to draw investors into your business if you do not even have any money to start it up because the investors themselves will think that you are not serious and maybe you are trying to run away with their money,no matter what do you still need a little capital to backup the business you are about to start.

distance from online business without the capital and example of the online business you should consider to start without the capital is for you to engage yourself on paid to post sites like the one we are doing here, i don't know of any offline business you can do without money.
