Our goal is to get you funding as quickly, easily, inexpensively, and stress-free as possible. Debt financing is a loan. You borrow money from an investor based on a contract that you will pay the loan amount back plus interest. Equity financing is not a loan. Money you receive from an investor does not have to be paid back, but is exchanged for part ownership in the company.
Investors make money based on the success of the business.
I'm not sure if debt or equity financing is more appropriate for my business. If you are at all uncertain, apply for both and then discuss the specifics with your attorney. Basically, an angel investor is a private individual who is seeking returns greater than what is available by investing in public companies. We don't limit participation based on geographic location. Some venture capital firms and investors have restrictions on where they invest, however.
