Networking to develop business relationships by joining professional organizations.

Explanation: Building relationships brings customers, partners, mentors, referrals and market insights—things that directly help grow a new business. The other options can be useful in certain circumstances (capital from loans, doing research), but loans carry risk and research alone without outside input is limited; a rigid business plan that lacks flexibility is generally counterproductive.
