What is equity investment?
Equity financing is raising capital from investors taking a stake in your business for cash. Unlike taking a loan there are no monthly repayments required. It can be used across the business lifecycle. It can provide seed finance to tech start-ups, growth capital for established businesses, and support management teams when buying a business. It is a versatile type of finance that can be used alongside loans. Find out more in this blog from the Development Bank of Wales
