The 1st video included the approach’s summary which describes the financing on equity through an investor/lender who is trusted. There was a small investment amount and 5 percent return happened to be an important amount for the company’s future. A more practical approach was evident in the 2nd video. The video describes the manner in which there is difference between equity loan and debt loan. It says about the liability of the payment. There is risk associated with the equity loan and the liability lies on the investor. There can be immediate receiving of money in the debt loan.
