Equity funding involves trading ownership in the form of equity stocks for capital, allowing external investors to have a stake in the company. Non-equity funding, on the other hand, enables founders to raise funds without giving up ownership, maintaining full control over their business.
Equity agreements allow entrepreneurs to secure funding for their start-up by giving up a portion of ownership of their company to investors. In short, these arrangements typically involve investors providing capital in exchange for shares of stock which they will hold and potentially sell in the future for a profit.
A company provides you with a lump sum in exchange for partial ownership of your home, and/or a share of its future appreciation. You don't make monthly repayments of principal or interest; instead, you settle up when you sell the home or at the end of a multi-year agreement period (typically between 10 and 30 years).
