Thanks for the suggestion.

I've been reluctant to do a friends/family round since reading some advice about conflating friends with investors. I would prefer investors who would use their experience/contacts/etc to help encourage a return on their investment, and also to keep friends and family impartial from the success/failure of the company.

A bank loan may be an option.

bank loans are hard with out cashflow.
