What is Business Financing
If you’re new in the business industry, you should be aware that it’s best to start out small. This will allow you to test the waters and prove the viability of the business.
The economy has suffered greatly in the past and it’s still in its recovery stage. A lot of investors and potential business owners are having second thoughts in starting a business because of lack of capital.
If you’re one of them, you might want to consider business financing.
Before you start your search for funding options, you have to consider certain factors. Do you want to apply for a short or long term loan? This will depend on your needs. There are times when the money is not for startup but business owners want to make sure that they have enough capital for the initial months of operation. You also need to decide whether you will stick with a sole proprietorship business or partnership.
In every business, there will always be risks. If you are alone, you will assume all the risks whereas if you have a partner, you can divide it. Today, you have two options when it comes to business financing – debt and equity. Debt financing will involve borrowing money with the promise to pay the amount at a certain period and is subject to monthly interest. Equity financing is selling the ownership of the business for cash. The risks are assumed by investors and if it fails, the money is lost. If the business succeeds, investors will also receive greater returns.
For small businesses, you can take advantage of other options like borrowing from family and friends, credit cards, bank loans, private lending, angel investors, and leasing. The choice is yours. Always weigh the consequences of your actions. You have to ensure that the money you get will be used for startup or business operations.
