Youdontknowme,
You strategy is a smart one... plus by generating your own cash, you will have a discipline and respect for money. I just encourage you to have your first "feeder" business be in a similar line of work to what your new "bigger" business is going to be. Good luck with your LAUNCH!

The best way to do business is to do it with your own funds. Loaning may cause more stress and coenr eventually but how does one become equipped with money saving strategies. I learned this the hard way - I had to stumble here and there since there is really no absolute road to saving.
It would help if you are exposed to resources like this forum blogs like The Dime. http://www.thedimecolorado.com
I'd love to hear how you guys do your saving? Could you share?
