    2k is nothing. Surely this is self funding territory, through income/personal loan. If you can't persuade friends and family, how do you think you will persuade an investor? How about pitching prospects to get one to fund you... They get the service for free, you get funding and a reference...

    What are your thoughts on cash?

    I think money laundering regs would stop that... I seem to remember about 25 years ago we sold my wife's car. The guy turned up with a briefcase with a pile of cash. When I took it to the bank they demanded I fill out a form explaining where the cash came from. A suitcase full of £100k to...

    Bins Contract problem
