Explanation
Equity financing involves:
- Angel investors
- Venture capitalists
- Public stock offerings
It can fuel significant growth but dilutes the original ownership stake. Unlike debt, there are no repayments, but investors may expect influence over business decisions.
Practical Example of Equity Financing
A tech startup sells 20% ownership for £500,000 in funding from private investors.
