Debt financing	Equity financing
Definition	Borrowing money from a lender that must be repaid with interest.	Selling a portion of company ownership to an investor in exchange for capital.
Ownership impact	You retain full ownership of the business.	You give up a percentage of the company to the investor, who becomes a co-owner.
Repayment structure	Fixed monthly payments of principle and interest over a set period.	There are no scheduled payments; the investor receives a share of future profits or a return on their investment upon a future sale.
Speed of funding	Often moves quicker once a loan is approved.	May involve a longer period of negotiation to determine terms and valuation.
Cost	The cost is the interest on the loan, which is typically a fixed amount.	The long-term cost can be significant, as you are sharing future profits with investors for as long as they remain an owner.
Ideal company stage	Typically suited for established businesses with predictable cash flow and assets that can be used as collateral.	Often an ideal option for startups or companies that may not qualify for a traditional bank loan due to insufficient collateral or erratic revenues.
