It is mostly advise by experts and also financial or lending institutions that start up should not take up loan but they should start up their business with personal savings , this is actually a fact because more 60% start up don't break even in their business before the stated time to start paying back loan so they become frustrated and eventually fold up.
However , if you have a stable business with full potentials you can easily take up loan infact lending institutions will rush to give you such loan because of their percentage profit, you can quickly use this loan invest or expand your business make double of that money in short time and return their money to them .This is the secret to most big and sucessful businesses so far.
@Ahmedo24 financial institutions doesn't just give loans, but they check if the business in question have the necessary requirements to secure such an amount.
Credit worthiness of the business will be properly studied by the institution to ascertain that the funds given to the business won't become a bad debt.

yes I agree with you loan is the secret of business development most of these develop businesses around always collect loan from the bank because they have the licence to do such. But those mini businesses do not have that capacity to collect loan from the bank because the interest rate might be too high for them, or they don't have anything to give out as collateral for the loan.
In fact once you have an established business and you're doing transaction with a particular bank the moment they check your history of transactions they will be the one chasing you to come and take loan even when you don't need it that is to show you how secure established business are when it comes to loan access to develop their business but as for a new business it a no go area for them.

It is very possible that only 10% to 20% of business started with loans are able to break even within a very short time and the benefactors are able to get back their loans easily which you can see that the percentage is not significant so that is reason why it is better to start on your business with your own capital then use loan to develop or expand the business.

I never ever suggest to anyone that start business from taking loan because most of the time the business to not run as we expect that it will give us the profit and benefit on monthly basis so I always prefer that to start your business from your own money without taking loans so you will be e-relax and stressful if you take this risky task in your life and we know that returning loan may give the loss in the business.
It also depends on luck that most of the business do not run but some of them get success and running business from loan.
But we should be aware of such kind of things that is harmful for our health as well and can make us mentally disturb.

You are right with the start up of using your savings. That will spare you of the pressure in paying the loan installments. When you need more money in your business because of the tight cash flow the loan is not the answer. Check your assets for which item you can sell. If you have 2 cars then sell 1 car to augment your business funds.
These are very wonderful suggestions because the anxiety of repaying bank loan or any loan can even get people unbalanced to enable them manage their business so they can break even easily but when you start with your savings you can take some calculated risk and also settle down and how best to can grow your business.

You're right by your claim but I will never support it that loan is good for a startup business. Most times loans usually turn up to become a trap for small business owners. Why will you go and get a loan for the business you have not even started at all, you're not even sure if the business will survive or not. The financial institution from where you obtained the loan will not want to listen to any I your story I you fail to pay back at the appropriate time.

Definitely, the processes you made mention of are more like what is practised everywhere in the world or in most countries. Financial institutions give out credit facilities to already established businesses that needs expansion though in rare cases government partner with banks by releasing funds them to give out loans to new businesses while they also monitor the repayment of such loans because some people don't like paying back if they are aware it government loan.
I think there are special institutions setup to monitor such funds especially the ones that are meant to develop a specific sector of the economy for it additional gains or social benefits. When you see government encouraging financial institutions to give out loan at low interest, there is always a motive behind it and most times it is for expansionary motives or corporate social benefits that is attached to the business. Government uses this method rather than subsidize some cost or reduce taxes meant for the company.

Your points are good and I agree with them. For me personally I always do my best to stay away from loans no matter what, loans are tempting to take and it's fun when spending money you didn't work for but when it's time to pay back it becomes something difficult to do. If you are planning to take a loan for business startup this is what I always advice, make sure you have a collateral that is equivalent to the amount of loan for are taking or bigger than the amount of loan you are taking because starting a business anything can go wrong, so that should in case you find yourself in that situation you will have something to sale and cover up your loan payments, but if you don't have its advisable not to take loan to start up any business no matter what, best is work and save for some period of time then start your business.

I don't see any reason why one should not be able to take for a business,but, it must be a business that is already established... Using a loan to start a business is the most terrible thing to do because you'll have to use your business profits to pay off the loan then use the loan capital to pay the main loan... By the time you are done paying you'll see yourself back to square one.

Every business needs constant innovation and ideas and you need funds to keep on with it. So if you don't have the means you have no choice than to go for loans. There is this stigma that people have placed on loans as if it is something negative. A lot of people are making it through loans, you will see many business people applying for these loans to boost their business because they know they will make enough profits even after they've returned the loan. So as long as you know what you are doing, getting a loan can help you boost your business.
I don't or can't argue the fact that most already existing business make more progress through loans either from the banks or from other financial lending organizations. They do so because their businesses are already established they have security in the form of collateral. The new business mostly finds it very difficult to survive it starting a business with loan simply because they face challenges which are hidden before starting the business and some are scared to take risk to grow the business before of fear of failure of which loan repayment keeps ringing on their brain.

Both is important but I can still say that skill should be first now are days especially if you Dont have anybody to finance your education.
The first thing you need you need to do is to have skill that learn how to do any handy work do has yo support your self. Now a day when a graduate don't have any work to do but those that has a skill before or during their education are enjoying them self because they can easily convect things to money and make a living through it.

I hardly see successful business owners that have never taken loans. You take loans to expand your businesses, you take loans to increase your cash flows amidst other reasons. But while obtaining loans, the business strength must be considered. This will let the business owner know the exact loan the business can afford to obtain and also know how the business will be repaying this loans. Whether or is yearly or monthly or even quarterly installment the business owner want to embark on while paying the loan.

For any business development activity, steady cash flow and liquid funds come in handy. In the absence of the same or to mitigate later risks, one should look at the benefits of the easy collateral-free business loans. One can apply with online platforms like Lendingkart and receive quick disbursal.

I agree with what you have said here. Taking loans for a startup business is not an option that is good. The business will not breakeven easily and you may not succeed well hence have trouble paying back the loan.
Taking the loan when you already have an established business is the best option ever. You just take it and expand your business the pay back the loan using the profits earned. Indeed most of the banks and loan lending organizations usually trust the people who already have a business running. They give them the loans so quickly.
