Business owners have the option of taking out a loan at a financial institution.
Financial institutions, such as banks or credit unions, offer lines of credit to
businesses that are just starting out or require financial assistance for improvements or
new developments. To qualify for a loan, business owners must go through an
application process. Most financial institutions require businesses to provide
proposals for how the money will be used and why the funding is necessary. Interest
on the loan will be charged at either a fixed or variable rate.
Venture Capitalists:
Taking out a home equity line of credit on your home is another method for financing
your business venture. Business owners who also own homes can access money from
their home equity to fund their company activities. Interest on home equity lines of
credit is often lower than that charged on a commercial bank loan.
Friendly Loans:
If you have friends and family with money, you might consider asking them for a
friendly loan. They may have an interest in your business and will want to invest in it,
expecting a good return on their investment. Or they may wish to loan you the money
and expect only that they will be paid back. This option is more desirable than
commercial bank loans that charge high interest rates.
