does love money mean more or less stress 
while it may seem easier to approach people you know for capital that does not necessarily mean it comes without stress and pressure in fact there may be an additional sense of responsibility toward your funders when you know them personally it is not always easy to mix business with pleasure so discussing the direction of the business and when and how you will repay the debt can be difficult both parties in a love money transaction should set out clear guidelines and expectations from the beginning in order to help alleviate the pressure and any future problems make sure both sides are aware of any legal consequences and considerations before any capital changes hands more importantly just like any other investor the funder should be aware of market conditions and the risks associated with investing in the business
