Business owners and executives obtain capital for various business needs. The business owner typically has two main options: debt financing and equity financing. Many companies use a combination of both debt and equity financing. Debt financing requires repayment whereas equity finance does not require repayment.
The main benefit of debt financing is that the business owner does not have to give up control of the company. Traditional business debt is also relatively inexpensive and the interest payments are tax deductible.
If you are unsure regarding the best solution for your business, we are here to help you determine the best deal structure given your unique situation.
When you are ready to source a lender for your various capital needs, it is very helpful to have all of the necessary documents ready to be presented to the bank.
