QUESTION 1
To finance a small business, there are several key strategies and options that a new entrepreneur
must consider, especially based on the type of business, its financial needs, and its long-term goals.
For this discussion, I will use the example of a small bakery business to critically explore various
financing options, explaining why some may be more suitable than others.
1. Personal Savings
The most common and straightforward option for a small business is personal savings. For a
bakery, this might involve using personal funds to purchase initial equipment, raw materials, and
renting a commercial space. This option is particularly favorable because it avoids debt and gives
the entrepreneur full control of the business. Moreover, personal savings provide a strong equity
base that can help secure additional funding from external sources later on.
