If I believe that my business idea and foundations are rock-solid, I would go the route of asking for a loan to fund my business and try to work out my interest rates/payment plan that will benefit me in the long run. I would gather investors later when I have established my business since my credentials are already established, and I have a working business where my investors can base their decisions on. The more figures I make, the more investors will come in to support my business and its expansion. While it's not wrong to ask for investors early on, it's hard to really get them to agree into putting funds when they are not seeing any numbers. It's 100% risk on them and lessens the risk on you, hence it will be difficult to get them jump into a boat without knowing its foundations and whether it's going to sail far or sink fast.
