Thank you.
Debt is great when there's a business. Debt does not work on an idea.
Equity is appropriate for pre-revenue companies, commercialization-stage revenue in the few hundred thousands. Once you have a business with revenue and critical mass—let's say, $5 million—debt is a perfect way to grow your business, whether it's equity or debt at that stage, and it protects the entrepreneur's stake in the business because there's obviously less dilution. If a business is going to go bankrupt someday, whether it's equity or debt doesn't make a difference.
