Question

Trey has $25,000 in savings, two new laptops, two laser printers, and a variety of quality office furniture that he's using to start his new Internet auction startup business. This array of assets brought into a company is known as financing because Trey is using real personal assets rather than borrowing funds from outside sources (answer is one word).

Answer 1

Answer: Equity financing

Explanation:

When using Equity financing, the owners of the business are investing either their personal assets into the company or selling shares in the company and raising money from that.

Equity financing gives the person who invested an ownership portion in the company. The main difference between equity financing and leveraged financing is that with equity financing, you are not forced to make payments to the investors every period.
