Excerpt
Why financing is important to your business : many people dream of starting and managing their own business. Some actually do start a business and achieve their dream; others keep on dreaming. Why is this so? What separates the successful entrepreneur from the unsuccessful? In many cases, it seems to be whether the prospective business owner has access to sufficient funds to turn the dream into reality. You've probably heard stories about how many businesses fail each year. Sometimes their failure can be traced to a lack of financing. It is difficult to guess how many businesses never even start because of that same lack of funding.
