Reason: early-stage working capital is best sourced from a mix — personal savings reduce interest/dilution, bank loans or lines of credit give cheaper debt, friends/family can be flexible, and investors provide larger capital (for growth) though they dilute ownership. Avoid relying only on credit cards (high interest) or only one source. Also consider grants, microloans, and crowdfunding depending on your business.
