Equity

A way to raise funds for your business by selling shares or partial ownership to people or an organisation in return for money, who can share in your profits or losses. Equity funding can help you raise large amounts without building up debt, and your investors will have a personal stake in helping your business succeed.

Public Sector Loans

Funds provided by government organisations or agencies that can support you with specific business projects, initiatives or activities.
