Credit cards are not suitable sources of long-term funding for start-up companies

Indicate whether the statement is true or false

TRUE
Explanation: Although credit cards are a convenient form of short-term borrowing, interest rates tend to be much higher than those of other types of funding, such as lines of credit. High credit card interest rates could cause a business owner to accumulate too much debt, putting the business at risk of failing. Therefore, credit cards should be used only if a business owner can pay the balance completely every month.
