Creating a groundbreaking product that solves people’s daily problems is an exciting journey. However, it often comes with financial challenges. Even if you have an idea for an innovation that can solve a widespread problem, more funding can be needed. At All In One Inventions, we leverage extensive expertise and proven strategies to provide financial help with invention ideas. Here are essential steps if you don’t know what to do when you have little money for your invention.
Customize a Small Budget to Suit Your Needs
If you have a business idea but need more money, consider starting on a limited budget. This entails careful planning and setting a realistic budget for your project. We can help you account for research, development, prototyping, and legal fees and recommend cost-effective solutions to minimize expenditures.
Determine Your Product’s Originality
Conduct a comprehensive patent search before investing all your money to ensure your invention is unique. This is a vital step if you have a great business idea but no money, as it helps avoid wasting valuable resources on an already-patented invention. In addition, you can conduct searches on accessible online patent databases to determine the market potential of your invention.
Protect Your Invention With a Provisional Application
Consider filing a provisional patent application once your invention passes the patent search. This temporary measure provides a one-year window to secure your invention’s priority date without the total cost of a regular patent application. This also gives you time to develop your invention further, seek potential investors, and explore licensing opportunities while enjoying protection against competitors.
Design a Functioning Prototype With the Available Resources
Creating a functional prototype is critical if you have an invention idea. However, it doesn’t have to break the bank, especially with cost-effective materials and methods to build and demonstrate your invention’s critical features and functionality. We can help you develop a well-crafted prototype to gain the traction and financial support needed.
Consider Working With an Established Company
With less money for inventions, licensing to an established company is a viable option to bring your innovation to the market. Licensing allows you to monetize your invention without the burden of manufacturing, marketing, and distribution costs. The best way to increase your chances for success is to conduct thorough market research, identify potential licensees, and prepare a compelling pitch showing your invention’s value.
