Every startup needs a couple of advisors with deep experience and connections in your business domain or financial skills to complement your technical focus. Advisors need to be mentors, looking ahead and directing you on key actions to take or avoid. Unfortunately, many prefer the role of critic, looking backward to highlight your mistakes. These people don’t help you or your startup.

There are times when you think you’re unable to do the job required of you. It could be due to the nature of the task. For instance, if you need to organise a concert to raise funds for the organisation, it might be beyond your scope of expertise. It’s also the same when asked to host a dinner party where company executives will attend. If you’re not running a business that deals with party planning or event organisation, it might be impossible for you to get things done.

Conventional high street loans are normally issued on the basis of an individual’s credit score, so if it’s low, lenders may look at you as high risk – and may not extend credit to you. If your business relies on one or more vehicles and something happens to one of them, you are going to need to replace it as soon as possible.
