Equity Funding means raising money by selling a portion with a minimum of 10% to a maximum of 75% of your company shares of your business to investors, such as venture capitalists or angel investors. In return, investors become part-owners and share in future profits. There is no repayment required, but you give up some ownership and control.

Debt Funding (Loans) means borrowing money that must be repaid with interest over time. You keep full ownership of your business, but you have a financial obligation to repay the loan, regardless of whether your business succeeds or struggles.

Key Difference:

• Equity Funding: No repayment, but you give up ownership.
• Debt Funding: Must be repaid, but you keep full ownership.
