Default Anyone ever have a business idea?

I have this really awesome idea for a business and I have this feeling that it would really boom if I manifested it but I have no idea where to start. I have heard of "Angels" who are rich individuals that invest in entrepenuers' ideas but I was just wondering if anyone else has ever done anything like that or have started thier own business and how they funded it?

pitch it to a bank.

businesses are much easier to start when they dont require any funds up front.

I always have business ideas...just not the funding.

And I would not take money from an "angel" as you call them. A buddy and mine were close to doing that once. Our lawyer set us up with the guy and as soon as he found out about the "silent partner" we walked away.

Ive always wanted to start up a road coarse here in va, there arnt any around here and i think making it open to amateurs (with a waivor o course) and offering a speed shop and small repair shop. I think that this would make alot of money, but the enitial cost are so fucking high due to the cost of land and how much it would cost to pave the track and maintain it. If i ever win alot of money, thats what im doing for sure

Virginia International Raceway is a road course in Virginia...commonly called VIR, and it was recently completely refurbished. http://www.virclub.com/vir/
