You have various options for financing your company. If you have equity, you can of course use it. If you have little or no equity capital, then you need to look for loan capital. You can go to a bank, but you can also raise capital through friends, investors or in the form of a grant. Life stage of the company The financing requirement also depends on the life stage of your company. For example, a start-up entrepreneur has a completely different financing need than an entrepreneur who is in the growth phase with his company or who wants to consolidate his company. Investors There are various forms of financing, whereby a distinction can be made between investors and financiers. Investors provide capital, but in return they want stock that will make them part-owners of the company. Moreover, they often participate in the decision-making process. They are at risk. If things go wrong, they have lost their investment. Financiers Lenders provide capital on the basis of collateral. In exchange for borrowing money, they ask for a fee in the form of interest. In addition, they often require additional securities that can serve as collateral, such as their own home or stocks.
