. There are different kinds of equity too. You got preferred stock, convertible preferred stock, common shares, and even warrants. So, depending on where the company stands and who it's talking to, the equity financing can turn out differently.
Types of equity financing include:
IPO: As I mentioned in a previous article, an IPO happens when a company puts its shares on a public stock exchange.
Stock exchange: A company that’s already listed can, if there’s any interest in its shares, do equity financing by selling its common stock that’s publicly listed.
Private equity: Private companies are able to sell their stock to private equity firms for equity financing.
