There are many ways to fund your business with the 3 main types being loans, equity and grants.

Debt financing involves the borrowing of money and paying it back with interest. The most common form of debt financing is a loan. The lender has no ownership control over the borrower’s business. Once the borrower pays the loan back, the relationship with the financier ends. 

Equity financing involves selling a portion of a company’s equity in return for capital. With equity financing is that there is no legal obligation to repay the money acquired unless the business makes a profit. 

However, equity holders have ownership control over the business. You will have to share profits and consult with them on company decisions. The only way to remove equity investors is to buy them out.

A grant is an award, usually financial, given by one entity (typically a company, foundation, or government) to an individual or a company to facilitate a goal or incentivize performance. Business grants are essentially money gifts that do not have to be paid back.
