One of the best things that I learned is to borrow money if you want to start a business. My friend asked me “who in this world will lend their money for me? I don’t have job or any source of income for collateral”. Many of us are not motivated to do some impossible thing that is why at the beginning of the game, we are already a loser. When I was in college I asked my mother and suggest a business but she said that it involved lots of work, we might not recover the capital or it is just impossible. If in the beginning you already accept losing then you will not win. Many successful investors became rich because they take the risk, calculated risk.
In terms of Business Loans, you have to make a strategy so that the bank will trust you. I have written an article long time ago on how to make the bank begging you to loan from them. You have to start from small amount and pay it diligently and borrow again for a bigger amount and again pay the due plus the capital on the right time. If the bank will see that you are a good a payer then they will let you borrow money, in fact they will beg you to borrow from them after all that is their business all about.
Some of the business owners I know are using their business as collateral to borrow money from the bank to finance such business. This is what we call leveraging in money. You see you somewhat cook the bank by its own oil. Business and real estate are investments that make sense. Stock and mutual fund can’t be leverage because it is not tangible. I never heard a stock used as collateral to borrow money from the bank. It is just too risky that the bank will not allow you to use it as collateral. Business Loans is indeed the best way to start a business. Take calculated risk and follow your dream. Make three plans, just in case the first one will not work, go to plan B and so on. It is better to start small if you plan to start a business. If it will not work, at less it is only small amount of money. Do a business which you can afford to lose.
