Dashboard: What Type of Entrepreneur Are You?

How much control do you need? How much risk can you handle? This week, Ami Kassar, a small business finance expert, recalls feeling inadequate when he saw other entrepreneurs raising lots of money and going for broke (and sometimes getting there). He began to realize that there are different entrepreneurial personality types, and he’s developed a survey that can help you understand your own entrepreneurial instincts. The founder of MultiFunding also discusses how willing banks are to lend right now, what businesses should do to prepare for a downturn, why it’s important to manage your EIDL loan carefully, and whether it ever makes sense to turn to an alternative lender.
