Sure, you’ve heard about bad debt and have likely dealt with it first-hand. But what about “good debt”? It seems like a strange concept for a new business especially, but it’s important to accrue some.
According to an article on CNBC’s website, the key to good debt — such as business loans — is to answer this question: will the debt pay back more than the investment?
