KEY TAKEAWAYS

Remember not to be afraid to use your own cash at the beginning instead of investor capital. By spending your own cash, the fate of your business remains in your own hands.
If your idea is high-risk, and you’ve chosen to seek investment from friends or family, you need to consider how the fallout will look in the event that they lose their money.
Taking on debt is not a bad thing, so long as you view it in the right way. Banks and traditional lenders should always be considered, as costs may be lower, and the guarantees may be greater.
Grants are an invaluable way of boosting your cash reserves, so long as you are solving the problem that the grant has been designed for. Essentially, they provide free money that doesn’t need repaying.
