Why Debt Isn't Dangerous, But Bad Decisions Could Be #110

In this episode, we explain why debt itself isn't dangerous but the wrong debt or bad decisions can be. Claire walks through the four most common types of business finance — asset finance, term loans, commercial mortgages and invoice finance — and when each is appropriate. Core principles covered: match the length and type of funding to what you're buying, distinguish short-term operating needs from long-term investments, and decide whether financing is for growth or survival. Claire gives practical tips on ease of approval, typical terms, and pitfalls like overpaying or becoming trapped on invoice finance. Finish with three simple diagnostic questions to choose the right funding: what am I funding, how long will it benefit the business, and is this for growth or survival?
