Equity financing is direct financing while debt financing is indirect financing. The difference between the two is that equity financing involves investors in the form of shareholding or equity participation. The main profit is the premium transfer of the company's listing or merger. Debt financing is often called borrowing, which means agreeing on interest rate and repayment period.
Private equity fund is a kind of equity investment behavior, which only combines general investment (manager GP) and follow-up investment (LP) as a whole. The advantage of this is that management is more humane and risks are dispersed. Individual or single institution equity investment behavior belongs to individual investment behavior, at your own risk, and all investment-related transactional work is done by yourself!
I hope to adopt my answer, thank you!
