You're right man. It isn't advisable to start up a business with a loan, that's never a good option cos of the risk involve during the early business start up. But using it to expand already established business is better off.Maybe you forgot that the only advantage of taking a loan is when your business is expanding. For starting up it is never a good thing to borrow money because of the repayment. That responsibility will always be on the back of your mind such that it can disturb your concentration on the operation of your business.
