INTRODUCTION

The informal sector is one where project financement is difficult. The absence of investment capital in this sector is often justified by the lack of guarantees or personal contribution by the economic players and by the low return on these projects which of is often used to acquire an income of subsistence instead of the pure creation of wealth and value. The common solutions to this involve microcredit, crowdfunding (in the form of tontines), and with patrons in the entrepreneur's entourage. The solution I choose to develop here as a guide to raising funds for informal business projects is solicitation of people referred to as « resources ».
