You Are The Debt Rookie

Based on your answers, here’s what I’d start with - immediately:

1. Shift your view of debt from danger to leverage.

Smart debt is a tool, not a trap. When used strategically, it protects your equity and gives you more control over your business.

2. Run your debt-readiness check.
   

Ask: Can my current or projected cash flow cover a fixed repayment? If yes - you may qualify for funding that doesn’t dilute your ownership.

3. Start with flexible, low-risk debt instruments.

Credit lines, revenue-based financing, or asset-backed loans can give you growth capital without forcing long-term repayment stress.

✍️ The fastest path to scale isn’t always equity.

If you only chase investors, you’re giving away slices of your business you can never get back. Debt, when done right, lets you grow while keeping full control of your company’s upside.
