Which is better bank loan of VC
Hey Guys,
I was just wondering which one is better for small businesses.
Bank loans are harder to get and they would want collateral property.
Guru's what do u think?

It depends on the situation and a weighing of your priorities:

Maintaining control of your company? Advantage: Loan
Limiting your personal liability? Advantage: VC
Maximizing profits? Advantage: VC (Not constrained by debt obligations)
Long-term success? Advantage: Loan (Not constrained by VC interest to "get out" within 2-3 years)

These are just a few main considerations. Keep in mind, though, that bank loans and VC investments are not the only options for funding.

Your question is subjective, of course. But based on my own personal experience, Bank of America is extremely small business friendly.

Personally, I prefer a loan to VC.
