Unique Funding Opportunities for Start Up VoIP Companies

Because VoIP can revolutionize telecommunications in areas where there is little or no pre-existing infrastructure, there are some unique opportunities for VoIP start-ups to secure funding.

There are also many organizations in the United States that offer support and loan opportunities for first time business owners and minority entrepreneurs. Try visiting your local government’s website to search opportunities in your community. The LEDC (www.ledcdc.org) in Washington, DC provides support for new business owners from creating a business plan to execution.

If you are setting up a service to benefit other countries, you can also research funding that is available for these regions. For example, in South Africa, funding has been approved for telecommunications projects leading up to the 2010 World Cup.

Aside from these options there are financing companies that fund VoIP solutions. Check with an IPsmarx Account Manager for more details.
