What is the best source of capital for businesses

[Nicklas22]

Angel investors

Angel investors are generally individuals or groups who provide capital from their personal assets to assist you with starting your business. These types of investors are looking for startups that have good potential for earnings.


Since they are investors, you'll be expected to present them with a portfolio that is favorable. This differs from venture capitalists, who are more interested in organizations that are already doing well but need more sources of capital.

If you must sell an ownership stake to get your company off the ground, start by finding a respected industry executive who is willing to invest a reasonable amount and give your venture credibility with other investors. The advice and networking–without all the heavy-handed demands of a VC–come in handy, too.

Some of the top ways to raise capital are through angel investors, venture capitalists, government grants, and small business loans. There are other methods for financing such as credit cards or invoice financing, but these should be used only if you need cash quickly and know the risks involved.

There are a lot of ways to source for money other than taking loans to start up a business.... you can take out some money from your previous savings to start up a business... you can also do some little jobs in order to gather money and start your business... you can as well ask family and friends for their support

The best source of funds for capital for a business is personal savings. It comes with some peace and freedom. But in a case where there is no personal savings, financial assistance from relatives can also come handy. If none seems forthcoming, then loans with single digit interest rate might be an option.

The best source for business capital is to seek financial help or assistance from friends and family. I think this will not be accompanied by pressure of repayment unlike bank loans where your have to use some of your properties as a collateral

Building a business is not easy, so in my own point of view, it is not advisable to take a loan just so you can build your dream business right away. Also consider the risk, as not all businesses succeed. If your debt-ridden business is not performing well, where will you get your payment now? It is better to just save money for your dream business, whether you succeed or not, you have no debt to think about...

Honestly without much argument i know that loan is and still remain the best source to start a business. If you can assess loan without much interest to start a business there is nothing wrong about that.
Nobody should discourage you about collecting loan life itself is a loan.

If you do not have saved, you should start saving if you have in mind to open a business. I do not agree with bank loans since the earnings are absorbed by interest. It is better to buy and sell in small quantities to build capital, enlist the support of friends and family.

It's not mandatory you rely on loan as at up capital, imagine if you don't meet the loan requirements you still need to raise capital to start the business. You can take up some works just for the sole aim of raising the needed capital and once you get it you can leave the job or better still register on different forums that pay like bizdustry.

I have always detested the issue of loans for anything due to the interest rates, as for business, i would prefer that i start small by acquiring capital from my savings gotten from my 8 to 4 job. To prevent spending too much, i put the business online just like a little ecommerce, i can establish a traditional store as time goes on. The best capital are those you acquire through your savings.
