Your local Business Link may be of some help regarding funding but it must come under either R&D or marketing. If you live in a town where there is a University they may be able to help as they sometimes have budgets for assisting people in the process of getting a Patent. If none of these things work, contact Knowledge House on 0191 5164408 or email enquiries@knowledgehouse.ac.uk they may be able to help if you are in one of their areas. Hope this helps as you certainly need it. You could try asking the product development company if they are prepared to fund your Patent application for a larger share of the prospective earnings from the product. That way they will be 'putting thier money where their mouth is'
I think that if the development company you mention thought it was a good invention, THEY would have developed it, so its really telling you, its not so good an invention.
have a yard sell every so often and add it to your funds
Hmmmmmmmmmmm. let me think.... dont know the answer! :oP
Chamber of commerce; patent office etc.
Get a good lawyer to protect you.Goodluck with your invention
I am not a lawyer but I am in the private investment business. Here is my advice:
Get a good lawyer who regularly represents small businesses and start up companies. Get referrals and check references. Your lawyer should be able to provide you with some basic documentation to raise funds. Start talking to angel investors - accredited investors who you can sell private securities to because they make enough or are worth enough. Hold meetings in your lawyers offices (better look and feel). Make your presentation to investors (in small groups of 3-5) without your lawyer present. Ask investors to to invest $25,000 to $50,000 each for a very small percentage of the company. Keep enough equiry for yourself so you can raise more capital when needed with a 2nd, 3rd and 4th offering (if needed) while still retaining a meaningful piece for yourself. A good lawyer can walk you through all of these steps.
