Starting a new business is an exciting journey, but the most challenging aspect of any new endeavor is where to get the money to start. Often, this is the greatest question that entrepreneurs face in starting and growing their businesses and it’s a decision that can have significant consequences. Oregon startups have various funding options available, though selecting the right one requires research, planning, and often advice of counsel.
While there are many different iterations, the primary decision an entrepreneur has to make is whether they want to raise money through investment – that is to say selling equity in the business – or whether they prefer debt, or even a combination of the two. Below, we highlight some of the most common funding choices. We invite you to contact Structure Law Group with any questions about Oregon startups and business financing.
