Business banking: The basics
 As
the owner or potential owner of a small business, there will come
a time when you need more capital. So you'll start thinking about
borrowing money. Entrepreneurs usually look for loans to capitalize
the startup of a new business, increase the inventory of an existing
business, expand their physical location or acquire other companies
to grow.
Still, having enough cash available won't guarantee
the success of your business. While insufficient funding is blamed
for many new business failures, getting the right kind of financing
and managing it well are also important.
There are many ways to raise money for your business,
as explored in our Capital
Sources stories. This section will focus on one of the most
familiar sources -- commercial lenders such as banks and finance
companies.
