    PEOPLE Taking a loan for my business

    I need to invest on heavy equipment and hire new designers for my business. Last time I inquired about the idea of getting investors, now I'm thinking about getting that loan myself. There are many borrowing options for people who needs the money nowadays... I guess there really is a lot to go...

    PEOPLE Taking a loan for my business

    One of the biggest steps we could make when deciding to grow our business is taking that much needed loan. What is your point if view about this? If I finance my business by taking that loan instead of going for investors, would that be a better decision? I'm also a loan agent by profession...

    If you get to have a sneak peak at my current lifestyle... I kind if feel like I only made money to build more businesses. I haven't bought a single property yet because I believe I still have more ideas that would benefit from my funds. My life is very simple and the money that I am looking...

    To have all the time in the world to start small and grow from there is ideal. I would love to have the opportunity to grow and not have to share my business with an investor. But for now, my options are very narrow.

    Hi Palmer, the "I need, I need, I need" part was in response to a conversation I was having with Hyperfocus. The what will the investors get from me wouldn't be an appropriate reply to his question. I was just posting in "context". I'm not really looking for investors in here you know...

    Btw, if you'll suggest that I keep doing it and save for the stuff that I need, let me just tell you why it will be counter productive and VERY dangerous. Here in my country, people picks up on things that are new quite quickly. There are bigger players out there that are well funded who'd...

    Hi, seems like you didn't read my initial posts nor the the rest of the stuff I've already put on here before writing me that comment. Anyway, just to rectify your thoughts. I am not looking to fund the business that already ate my entire savings. I'm working to fund the business that I have...

    Wow... Real estate investments are the best, really. I almost tried this field once in my life. Instead of getting investors though, I partnered with a developer/contractor. We agreed on a 50/50 split on every deal we made. It was grueling for me and I quit (well... my partner quits first)...

    Do you mind telling me more?

    No worries. I get your point. :) It's clear. But like any real entrepreneur, you don't stop like an itch is to the nose when your hands are tied. lol

    Thanks Steve. So you mean you went public? Equity or convertible bond?

    That would be quite weird. You cannot grow really fast if you'll have to wait for your small business to pick up. I'm sharing this:

    Hi, thank you for the input but I was asking about the experiences of those who've tried. It may be far fetched but saying there's no one is a very quick judgment. Most people here might have started from scratch and that was what I've been doing for the past 10 years but there might be people...
