In Chapter 12, we learn about common sources of financing for small businesses. Please list and provide the definitions of at least four of those common sources of financing. If you started a business, how would you finance it?

Please find a small business owner to interview to learn a little more about their personal story. If you have a family member or friend who owns a business, this would be an awesome opportunity to learn more about their story. If not, you can ask a local business owner if you can have just a few minutes of their time. Here are a few questions to ask:
(1) Why did you decide to start a business or take over an existing small business?
(2) What skills/resources did you have to be successful in this business?
(3) Is this a family-owned business? If so, who works for the business in your family? Do you have a succession plan?
(4) What advice would you give to others who are thinking about starting a business or purchasing an existing business?
You create a discussion post about your business owner interview. Please be creative with this post and include a flyer, PowerPoint, other visuals, etc.
