Entrepreneurs can access capital markets through various methods:
Equity Financing: By issuing shares of the company, entrepreneurs can raise capital in exchange for ownership stakes. This is often done through an IPO or by attracting venture capital firms. Debt Financing: Entrepreneurs can raise funds by issuing bonds or taking out loans. This method requires repayment with interest but does not dilute ownership. Crowdfunding: Platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo allow entrepreneurs to raise small amounts of capital from a large number of people, often in exchange for early access to products or other rewards.
