Which is the best stage for a startup to get funding?

Identifying the sources of finance for start ups is not an easy task. However considering the fact how much certain you are that your business will be a success eventually will give you a hint on how much risky you can be. The rule is simple high risk high return but don't push so hard.

There are many example where a business was just started with credit and loans and with time it turned in to multimillionaire business. If your idea is new and yet to be tested its better to get along some partners to invest in the business as risk will be divided among st you and the level of investment you need will be lessened so as the profit will be divided as well.

However, its always a good idea to have some level of your many as an investment in addition to getting debt finance like loan, credit terms.... etc.... you need to figure out what debt:equity ratio will suit your business type which require certain and specific figures.

Hope my answer was of any help...
