Discussion 1.Sources of Debt Financing
The business I could see myself owning is a comic book shop and gaming place. Given my economic status and that of my loved ones, I would have no real option except to look for outside wellsprings of debt capital. Stockholders, Venture Capitalists, or more probably a Small Business Loan would get me the subsidizing to get the business off the ground. Receiving the SBL would be the most evident route for me to acquire the resources, as it would cover a large portion of my start-up expenses and make me obliged to just a single bank to pay off. Investors and venture capitalists would be awesome on the off chance that I can get them; however for a little operation they might be more risky to get (Kotey, 1999).
