		<description>It would be very interesting to hear ideas on HOW MUCH equity one has to give away for the proportion of capital required. I have heard that for example where 1 million euros is required and 700 K of that will be raised via debt finance you still have to give away 70 % of equity to get the remaining 300 K in cash from the equity investor. Harsh. Any experiences out there?</description>

		<description>Thanks for the info.
Want to know how much equity I can part with when my initial expenditure is just $50K, but I need $500K to roll out the business. I can impress about the returns to the investors, but not sure, whether they will ask aboove 50%, where I loose the ownership.
Secondly, is it better to get project finance (for individual project or product launch) or fo the oprganization with multiple expenses? 
thanks,
Balu</description>
