Abstract

Access to start-up capital is important in starting any business venture. In addition, the source of that start-up capital can sometimes affect the prospects for success in the new business venture. This study examines the differences in the source of start-up funds between male minority and male non-minority family business owners. The findings indicate that male minority family business owners more often use credit cards and gifts from family as a source of start-up funds whereas the male non-minority family business owners rely more often on bank loans. The authors propose a more extensive survey of a larger sample of family business owners in order to further identify differences in source of start-up capital between male minority and male non-minority family business owners.
