Basics of Business 6: Financing Your Business

Financing is one of the most important aspects of starting a new business. Your ability to provide and raise adequate capital will determine the fate of the business venture. Insufficient financing may cause the business to fail. Excess borrowing with easy credit at high-interest rates can also put the business at risk. So, before you start, you must take a careful look at the type and amount of capital you will need. Then, you must decide how you are going to finance the capital needs of the business. Last, but not least, you have to determine a source for the capital at a favorable cost.
