The truth is a great business model and good looking business plan may help convince a financier to give you a chance, but all too often start-ups are turned down for loans and credit lines. Share your story of how you financed your start-up. Share Your Funding Story

I know a lot of experts are against borrowing money from family but if it wasn't for the personal loans from my family, I wouldn't be in business today! I think knowing I was related to the lenders gave me more incentive to pay back the money (with interest) in record time.
