I want to understand the multiple funding options when starting a company, whilst taking into consideration the options of business operation -- whether it is via sole proprietorship, partnership, or franchise. While I'm aware of the many funding options including family/friends investment, VCs, angel investments, through partnerships, and franchises, how do I account for the future revenue division, company shares and benefits, as well as the risk factors for each of these options?
Also, what are the resources out there, to delve into startups financing and shares division?
