Every Source of Capital Comes With Trade-Offs

Different types of capital carry different obligations.

Equity involves ownership dilution.

Debt involves repayment, interest and potentially security or covenants.

Grants involve defined projects, eligible costs, matching requirements and reporting.

Tax credits generally follow eligible spending.

Strategic capital can involve commercial or partnership commitments.

The important decision is whether the structure of the capital matches the risk and stage of the company.
