Dear people,

I stand before a dilemma. I'm a beginning entrepreneur and this week I will start my first facebook ad.

I have a choice to make: to borrow 6.500 euro's with an interest to be paid of 0.7% and this money has to be paid in 30 years maximum. BUT i have to pay 1000 euro's to be able to borrow this money.

Should I do this? It does allow me more money to invest in my businesses, should I have the need to. On the other hand, I already have 30k to invest, so maybe I won't need this 6k at all. Or maybe I will fail a lot and this 6k will give me the opportunity to try a couple more times and succeed.

In the next 2 years , I will be able to make this deal every half year. So that is 4 times. So I can also do this deal after half a year, but then I have wasted one of the 4 opportunities of borrowing money.

What is your stance on this? Should I borrow this money or wait?

Thank you guys!

Edit: Of the 30k I have now, 20k of it is also borrowed at a similar interest rate, but without the 1k cost.

Edit 2:
The money is borrowed as a student loan. The government is very lenient with this, if you are completely broke and you cannot pay the money back, they won't sell your posessions for example.They will probably excuse you from paying it back
