Start a company with no money: I Want to Start a Business but I Don't Have Money.

"You have to be true to yourself; you have to know your strengths and limitations and live within your means. The same is true for a business. The sooner a company tries to be what it is not, the sooner it tries to have it all, the sooner it will die."

From chapter 7: Why you will price too low

Almost none of it. If you've got no company, no revenue and no track record, the honest answer is that you're eligible for rewards crowdfunding and for some prize competitions, and that's the whole of it, because nearly everything else on that opening list needs an incorporated entity before you can even press submit. That isn't a reason to despair. It's a reason to go back to chapter five.
