Entrepreneur looking for funding.

I am looking for funding for our newly established business. We have done all the paperwork and have successfully registered the business and obtained an importers code to start trading however the lack of funds is the only thing missing to enable this success. I call on anyone willing to help me get my business started. We will also benefit the local market by creating employment if we can get the necessary funding. We also will donate to needy and less privilaged people once we grow the business. I know there is the option of approaching banks but the interest is high and for a start up business interest payable affects the business. I want to see how possible it is for people to help my cause before seeking other avenues for generating capital.
