Sources of Finance
Personal Savings
Quite simply, personal savings are amounts of money that a business person, partner or shareholder has at their disposal to do with as they wish. If that person uses their savings to invest in their own or another business, then the source of finance comes under the heading of personal savings.
Although we would generally discuss personal savings as a source of finance for small businesses, there are many examples where business people have used substantial sums of their own money to help to finance their businesses. A good and very public example here is Jamie Oliver, the television chef. Jamie financed his new restaurant, 'Fifteen', using fifteen raw recruits to the catering trade and a large amount (£500,000) of his own cash.
