John was a bright engineer and a hard worker. He was also very financially conservative. When he started a custom software company with a partner, he would periodically borrow short-term business capital from his mother.

John’s partner suggested establishing a line of credit at the bank, periodically borrowing and paying back even if the money wasn’t needed as a way of building business credit. John balked at the fees, personal guaranties and interest rates that couldn’t compare with the Bank of Mom.

Unfortunately John’s mother passed away and the kitty he had been borrowing from was divided among all the siblings. More unfortunately, the business needed funds to finance new projects and had no other borrowing sources.
