Starting a Business with a Bank Loan Advisable?

[Spencer]

Business loans are advisable only after testing a business idea and finding out it's worthy of testing out, for example if you want to start selling online and you've found a prototype that works, you can take a loan to start the business properly, since you have a proof it's going to work.

It's not advisable to just take loans to start a business you have no knowledge on and no any clear plan on how to pay the loan back, you'll end up indebted and bank may decide to confiscate your collateral till you settle your loan, overall it's not a good idea.

Starting a business with a bank loan is not easy. You have to pay it back, plus some extra fees called interest. So, before you go running to the bank, make sure your business idea is solid, and you can make enough money to pay them back. Don’t get yourself in trouble, thinking it's free money. It’s not. Be smart, plan well, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll turn that loan into a booming business that will pay the loan and have more left to sustain the business.

I think the case differs from someone having funds to start a business or someone getting a salary from a company so in the current conditions he will fail to collect funds or save it so go to bank loan, what you say is pure theorical to start with own funds.

If you don't have funds, what options you have except getting a loan? Well, there is a risk in starting a business with a loan but you should not be afraid to take loan. If you do not attempt challenging thing like getting a loan, or if you do not dare any risk like a debt, how do you think you will be able to become successful with your business, as the old saying goes, there is no gain without any pain.
