    Acquisition of funds

    funding is needed to start a business and can be acquired from various sources. These sources of funding usually come from the entrepreneur’s resources or someone else’s such as the bank, an investor or relative/friend. However, getting funds from someone else, this will incur a cost of borrowing. This is the interest rate changed over the length of the period of the loan.
