		<description>There are too many so-called entrepreneurs who financed the start-up of their business with borrowed cash from their home equity line or with credit cards when money was flowing freely. 

Little or to no planning was done on the feasibility of the business and they still don&#039;t know what a break-even analysis or business model is. They opened their doors and expected to make money hand over fist.

Unfortunately these businesses are the first to fail, and it&#039;s down to a Darwinian survival of the fittest for the near future.

If a solid model and track record exists, and it&#039;s just a matter of cashflow &#039;dips&#039;, then loans are an alternative. But money should not be funneled into a poor decision to begin with.</description>
