DEBT FINANCING

Debt financing involves taking a loan from a bank or other lending entity or individual with the promise to pay it back in full. Debt financing leaves control in the hands of business owners, rather than lenders, but puts companies on the hook for repayment, which can be a difficult commitment for risky early-stage companies.


DONOR ADVISED FUND

Donor Advised Fund is like a charitable investment account: a donor contributes to this account over time for an immediate tax benefit and then recommends grants to their favourite charity when they are ready.
