When you are starting a business, where you get your money from has mostly to do with who is willing to give it to you. Most entrepreneurs just want to get funded, and often don't think through the ramifications of their funding source. Whomever gives you money is now in a relationship with you -- and it's important to know what hidden terms come along with that relationship so you're prepared for what happens once the check is in the bank.
