Venture capitalists are a common source of venture capital for small and medium sized businesses. They will take the risk of providing capital in return for a realistic share of the profits.Family and/or friends may also be willing to take the risk of providing capital, but there is a risk of bad relationships and of losing friends if the business doesn't succeed. There may also be the problem that they may wish to have a share in managing the business, a desire that may not correspond with your own wishes.A bank loan is not venture capital.
