We’re bursting with excitement to announce that Botkeeper has raised a Series B round of $25 million from a group of awesome investors, which will propel our vision of growing the amazing Botkeeper community, further our mission of building the future of bookkeeping, and double down on engineering and product development for our Accounting Partners.

You’ve finally decided to take the jump and open your own small business. The excitement is overwhelming, but you know you’re ready. The only thing is, you don’t exactly know where to start with funding. The ideal way would be to fund it completely out of pocket, but if that’s not possible for you (don’t worry—it’s not possible for most!), what do you do? Do you crowd source the money? Do you apply for loans? What type of loan can you apply for? Are there any grants available to help save you from taking out too many loans?
