Here's the situation:

I've got hardly any capitol at the moment. I'm doing all the labor as well. At some point I'm not going to be able to keep up with all the works, and if I don't bring in more specialized labor my business will struggle.

My question is if this is an effective way to grow a business with very little capitol while at the same time hiring talent with no initial cost.

In my mind it seems like a good way to grow my business and at the same time legitimately hire someone (form a team) before I start to pay them.

Which are better, paid or unpaid interns? If I have to settle for unpaid in the beginning what are the pros and cons?
