Many small business owners believe that they need an investor to grow the business. That is true, it might be easier with money not being an issue. However, it is important to understand the constraints which come with having an investor.

Different type of business financing will have their own pluses and minuses. A business owner should consider all possible options and define what suits him better. The first question that should be asked is whether the investor is truly required.

With rare exceptions investors have different objectives from those of the business owner. That will constrain the freedom and to some degree might enslave a business owner. After all, many entrepreneurs are on their own because they want to be their own boss.

So, think wisely and proceed with care.
