1) b
I want to have something to fall back on if I fell on hard times, but I don't see what the point of going ahead with a business is if you're not prepared to put the finacial backing in as well as throwing yourself into it.
2) a
Taking into account my answer for (1), I would not risk any personal assests - especially not my house. I'm disabled (enough not to get even an office job easily, but not enough to get benefits) and I need a place to live! Stability, not stupidity is my motto. Basically, even if I can't afford to eat I want somewhere to sleep [
]
3) a
Very, very risk averse. See answer to (2)
4) a
It's very important to me to do what I do for me, and me only. I'm lucky enough that I can get "off the ground" without external help - if I couldn't I doubt I'd go into an equity sale.
5) a
Definately a. What's the point of expanding if someone else (a bank, or invester) is going to get a lot of the benefit?
Good luck in your research,
Nath
