Abstract

Long before completing an initial public offering (IPO), your startup company will likely need access to capital to grow its operations. The financing choices that you make along the journey from a fledgling startup to an IPO-ready company will have profound effects on ownership interests, strategic operations, and corporate governance. This article highlights the financing alternatives that your company will have at different stages of its development, beginning with an overview of the four phases of external financing.
