Help me start my business

I am looking for help to raise money to help start my fiber arts business, as well as buy the equipment needed to start this business. Any help from friends would be very much appreciated. As for the equipment,  I specifically NEED a drum carder and or knitting machine so i can produce more faster.As well as hackling combs, a picker box, carding combs, felting needles, etc.This money will also help in acquiring all licensing needed to make this a legitimate business. I had to figure out a way to take care of my son when his father died. Doing it alone hasn't been easy. If I could get my ideas patented and get this going and be able to have an actual store that would be great ! But in order to do that I need to raise the funds. Any help is greatly appreciated! ♡
