DEBT AND EQUITY

pg 20

•  A quick primer on debt versus equity:

q  Debt:

•  gets paid back first, before any dividends get paid

•  secured by assets (company, your personal)

•  once debt is repaid (with interest of course), lender gets nothing else

q  Equity:

•  never has to be “repaid”

•  keeps on “paying” forever

•  you now have an investor partner who is in this, like you, for the long haul
