New product

I am an inventor I had a perfect idea so I designed and made it work the kinks out of it and has been operating now two years. It's time to get out here is my problem I have no clue how or even the finance to do anything

How is this protected from the rains? I live in an area where all the recycling bins are underground but waterproof. To empty them, a crane truck extracts the container from the ground and opens it on the truck with a mechanism. I don't see how your design solves the rain problem.

It's not a bad idea !

If you are in Auustralia my thoughts on what to do in the UK may be of limited use.

If you are going to talk to money people you need to be sure your idea is protected before you start.

In the UK I'd contact double glazing companies - because they have the infrastructure to market and install such a product. Installation is key here - I doubt if it's really a DIY product.

Where I live (very rural SW Scotland) our problem is that we have to leave bins at the end of little tracks with1 - 10 houses and the bin lorry can't/won't drive up the track. The great gaggle of bins looks bad and attracts animals. But I can't see your system going in there due to power and other considerations.

But in up-market conservation area type towny places - I think you could make some sales. The BIG effort is building the business.

If I were you I'd be really happy to sell the patent to a big company for for the price of a decent (new) car and move on to the next idea.

Another place to look is government programs. In Canada there is an Industrial Research Assistance Program and there are usually small business development agencies and export development agencies, etc.

There are any number of web site development services that will setup an online business.

Good idea, algo there are place where you can find mentoring in entrepreneurship. I went to the Arduino day in Chicago this year, it was hosted in this place mHUB, they have a lot of good stuff for startups.

I'm not sure of your country of origin but this side of the pond talking to a bank doesn't cost you anything and may provide some ideas.

Your funding options are:

the bank

venture capital

angel investor

crowd funding

friends and family

self funded

It will take a lot of homework and careful attention to be successful with any of these sources.
