Got a great idea for a business, but no money to get it started? Today I came across a post about home business funding with a twist…you can join a contest and have a chance at winning money to start your home business.

One of the sites featured was ideablob.com from Advanta. According to their website:

ideablob.com is where entrepreneurs and small business owners can share and grow their business ideas – and have a chance to win $10,000 towards fulfilling them.

Great ideas are generated every day by people all across the country, and now these ideas have a place to live and grow. Eligible individuals can submit their business idea to ideablob.com, and based on votes from the ideablob.com online community – which includes other innovators as well as friends, family, colleagues, associates, teachers and mentors – one idea every month will win $10,000.

As individuals take part in ideablob.com’s growth, their business has the potential to grow right along with it.”

Another funding contest for entrepreneurs is the Make Mine a Million $ Business program. Make Mine a Million $ Business is a program of Count Me In for Women’s Economic Independence – and founding partner, American Express OPEN(SM). The program provides a combination of money, mentoring, marketing and technology tools that women entrepreneurs need to help grow their businesses from micro to $millions.

If you’ve got an idea for a business, or a business that you want to take from micro to millions, these may be worth a look.
