11. Conclusion
These considerations affect Financing strategy.
Debt Financing : Borrowing money that has to be repaid at a later date to start a business is referred to
as debt financing. One common source of debt financing for a start-up is to borrow from family and
friends. Increasingly, entrepreneurs are using their personal credit cards as a form of debt financing.
Equity Financing : Equity financing consists of funds that are invested in exchange for ownership in
the company. Any monies invested by the business owners or by those who purchase stock in a
corporation is considered equity funds.
