  Good points, all, Antonio. You are correct that most businesses do not get venture capital, or even angel money. Since 2000, more than half the businesses that have gone public have not had venture capital or angel investors, so you can get to be a pretty big business without venture capital. VC money just tends to accelerate growth.

  RE: Five Reasons To Start a Business Now

  I'm not sure what happened to the original comments on this post, but five months later, we have someone saying it's a terrible time to make anything but small loans, and someone else looking at the bootstrapping possibilities.
  
  It seems like the economy may be shifting from collapse to steady downward trend, which, coupled with the stimulus package, may make it a more favorable time to start a business.

  At Business Switch - where we start up Australians in business - we get to see a different angle.
  
  The majority of our clients are not raising lashings of equity. The majority are using debt.
  
  They are also focussed on fundamentals. Getting the business set-up right, building correct strategies and operating platforms etc.
  
  Most seem to understand that the economy will recover at some time ... and they want to be ready to grow when it does.
  
  To do so, means getting active and getting the basics right now though.
