I read a lot about not advisable to start a business with a loan. Have you ever started a business with a loan? Did you regret using a loan or it was a blessing for you?

I have not started a business with a loan. When I started my milk tea business recently, I used my savings as my direct capital. I may apply for a loan if see my milk tea business booming and would want another stall in malls.

I've never started a business using a loan but I don't think it is a good idea. The person would take loan when the business is already going well

Starting new business with loan is not a smart idea because we don't know whether it will grow or not so it will be good as when we see the business is growing and we need capital for its further growth then we can take loan and expand it.

Exactly my point too. I don't think I like the idea of starting a new business with loan. What if the business fails

I have never started a business with a loan, because it would be too risky, at least we would be stressed thinking about interest and loan installments that have to be paid every month, while starting a business is a difficult time to get consumers.

I haven't started any business so no question with loan or without loan and it's fine to start with a loan and work whole heartedly at it
Since you have not started a business before I will tell you not to take a look to start your business whenever you want to do so

I have never started a business with a loan facility before. I heard it from the financial advisors that it's not advisable to do so as it's very risky and can lead to the collapse of a business

For me, starting a business with a loan is not a good idea. It could be feasible after some years if need to create another business branch. There is no assurance of whether a business if boom or not . It must be observed after a month's inventory to know the break-even , net profit or loss. One can apply for a loan from a friend or relative without interest charges for bank charges even more. if failed to pay a single month.

Yeah even if one needs to start a business with a loan it should be from friends or family that it might come with little to no interest
