Is it true that you can start a company like Donald Trump and Issue mostly bonds to get it started?
What I am saying is that it’s true a lot of people start these companies by issuing bonds even real estate companies and most the money they have to start out with is borrowed isn’t that true?
Yes for the most part, most small business start with debt funding, though almost never in the form of bonds, its usually in the form of bank loans and lines of credit. This especially true for real estate companies due to the prevalent of mortgage options out there.
Sure, you can register as a investment company, a private partnership, a LLC, and sell stock, bonds, and raise money all you want.
