Financing means borrowing money by taking out a loan to buy something. If you want your business to grow, you'll probably need to find larger amounts of financing than what's available through personal savings, loans, family members, and credit card advances. Common methods of business financing include bank financing through term loans, lines of credit, or revolving credit loans. Other methods of financing include securities offerings and venture capital. There are advantages and disadvantages to each method.
