1. Borrowing 2. Raise it from investors by selling
them a stake (issuing shares of stock) in the company.
• When you own a share of stock, you are a part owner in the company
• You get a % of the profits, plus if they are successful, the value of each share will go up and you can sell you shares for a profit).
This is your investment
