This document discusses equity financing as an alternative to debt financing for small businesses. It notes that equity financing involves selling shares of the company to investors in exchange for cash. The pros are that it avoids taking on debt and shares the risk with investors. However, control of the company must be shared with investors who will expect a return. The document provides examples of equity sources like venture capitalists and angel investors and factors to consider like corporate structure when planning for future financing rounds.

Structuring and Financing a Partner BuyoutGreg Tobben
Buying Out a Business Partner or Shareholder: Structuring and Financing the Deal
When an entrepreneur starts a new business, planning for a buyout of a business partner years in the future is rarely a top priority- but maybe it should be.
As businesses grow and evolve, so too do ownership or shareholder groups. The same partners or investors who took a company from startup to $20 million in revenues aren’t necessarily the right people to grow the company from $20 to $50 million, or $50 to $150 million, and so on.
Layer in retirements, partnership disputes and absentee or non-strategic owners receiving generous compensation, and making changes in ownership becomes increasingly more important (and costly) as the business grows.

Financial Leverage Definition, Advantages, and Disadvantagesjayjaymabutot13
Financial leverage is the use of borrowed money (debt) to finance the purchase of assets with the expectation that the income or capital gain from the new asset will exceed the cost of borrowing. A figure of 0.5 or less is ideal. In other words, no more than half of the company's assets should be financed by debt.
An Introduction to the World of Venture CapitalScott Tominaga
When startups need funding, venture capital is one option they might consider. Getting funding from a VC firm can offer certain advantages to new businesses that may not be able to get approved for traditional loans. Thanks to the rise of crowdfunding, it’s now becoming decidedly more mainstream.

10 Stock Offerings and Investor Monitoring
CHAPTER OBJECTIVES
The specific objectives of this chapter are to:
· ▪ describe the private equity market,
· ▪ describe investor participation in the stock markets,
· ▪ describe the process of initial public offerings,
· ▪ describe the process of secondary offerings,
· ▪ explain how the stock market is used to monitor and control firms, and
· ▪ describe the globalization of stock markets.
Stock markets facilitate equity investment into firms and the transfer of equity investments between investors.
10-1 PRIVATE EQUITY
When a firm is created, its founders typically invest their own money in the business. The founders may also invite some family or friends to invest equity in the business. This is referred to as private equity because the business is privately held and the owners cannot sell their shares to the public. Young businesses use debt financing from financial institutions and are better able to obtain loans if they have substantial equity invested. Over time, businesses commonly retain a large portion of their earnings and reinvest it to support expansion. This serves as another means of building equity in the firm.
The founders of many firms dream of going public someday so that they can obtain a large amount of financing to support the firm's growth. They may also hope to “cash out” by selling their original equity investment to others. Normally, however, a firm's owners do not consider going public until they want to sell at least $50 million in stock. A public offering of stock may be feasible only if the firm will have a large enough shareholder base to support an active secondary market. With an inactive secondary market, the shares would be illiquid. Investors who own shares and want to sell them would be forced to sell at a discount from the fundamental value, almost as if the firm were not publicly traded. This defeats the purpose of being public. In addition, there are many fixed costs associated with going public, and these costs would be prohibitive for a firm that seeks to raise only a small amount of funds.
10-1a Financing by Venture Capital Funds
Even if a firm wants to sell at least $50 million of stock to the public, it may not have a long enough history of stable business performance that it can raise money from a large number of investors. Private firms that need a large equity investment but are not yet in a position to go public may attempt to obtain funding from a venture capital (VC) fund. Such funds receive money from wealthy investors and from pension funds that are willing to maintain the investment for a long-term period, such as 5 or 10 years. These investors are not allowed to withdraw their money before a specified deadline. Venture capital funds have participated in a number of businesses that ultimately went public and became very successful, including Apple, Microsoft, and Oracle Corporation.

From Daniel Richards
There are a few different ways to raise funds for your startup. The traditional path is debt financing, which involves taking on a bank loan or private
loan. A different approach is to seek equity financing by issuing stock in your company. In essence, this option allows you to sell shares of your
company to investors, injecting your business with cash and leaving the investor with the chance to make a high return.
Pros of Equity Financing
Equity financing allows you to cut out the bank as a business partner. Instead of spending cash on loan repayments, you can use the infusion from
equity investors to grow your business. Furthermore, equity investors help reduce your personal risk in the business.
In the event your business fails, you would still be required to pay back any bank loans you take, or reorganize the debt payment under bankruptcy
protection. Equity investors, however, usually don’t have the same rights as debtors; you would not be required to return their original investment in
the event your business collapses, for example. Equity investment should be viewed as a long-term solution and a means to inject both cash and
experience into your startup.
Cons of Equity Financing
If you’re seeking cash for the short term, offering equity is not the right approach. Investors want their capital to help the company make good
investments and position itself for medium- and long-term growth. If your cash flow hasn’t picked up as you expected, you may want to call a bank
instead. Furthermore, you’ll have to cede some control over your company’s operations if you offer stock to investors.
Consider what your long-term strategy is for your business. Shareholders will be looking for a plan to get a return on their investment, and that plan
could include merging with another company, selling the company to a larger firm, or conducting a public stock offering which would then allow
investors to sell their stock on the open market. Along with sharing control, you’ll also be sharing the profits. Make sure to run the calculations on any
potential equity agreement: You may find that you’re paying a larger percentage of your profits to investors than you would toward a bank loan.
Some sources of equity financing
Venture capitalists. Venture capital funds are professional investment organizations that invest in growing industries in order to make a profit. VC
firms know several of their investment choices may not pan out but are willing to take that risk in return for an occasional windfall. Securing a
venture capital firm that specializes in your industry means you’ll be bringing in owners who can offer experienced opinions on running the company
but may also seek to exert significant control.
Angel investors. These are individuals who have a personal stake in seeing a business proposition succeed. Angel investors tend to focus their
investments on sectors in which they have a personal interest. The equity arrangement with an angel investor is similar to that of a venture
capitalist.
Initial public offerings. Depending on the nature and stage of development of the company, it may be possible to raise funds by offering shares in
the company to the public. This activity is highly regulated and expert advice should be sought prior to embarking on this route.
Corporate venture capital. This is capital provided by established companies in return for a stake in your business.
A decision to opt for equity financing over debt financing is largely a personal one and in part determined by your appetite for risk.
Setting yourself up for future financing
Depending on how much investment you are looking for at the startup phase, you may want to begin planning ahead for future equity financing. If
that’s the case, there are a few things to keep in mind even at this early stage:
Include some anti-dilution measures in your initial equity offerings. This is to assure first-round investors that their stake in your firm won’t
become diluted when you offer more shares later down the road.
C-Corp or S-Corp? Most large companies are legally set up as C-Corporations. C-Corps are subject to double taxation – the company’s earnings
are taxed, and then individual shareholders’ dividends are taxed. Smaller firms can opt to be set up as an S-Corp, where income is flowed directly to
the shareholders and thus only taxed once. S-Corps, however, can not have more than 100 shareholders by law. If you’re looking to take on
additional financing, you may want to set your company up as C-Corp from the start. Investors also prefer C-Corps, since they allow preferred stock
to be offered, and S-Corps do not.
