Fundraising for working capital, expanding or developing the business or acquisition.

There are basically three types of funding: Equity, debt funding and Asset backed Lending. Equity is when a company sells shares to raise funding from investors. Debt funding is when a bank or similar institution lends money and usually takes security as part of providing the funding.  Asset backed Lending is when funds are provided against the specific security of the asset the funds are secured against.
