In this case, the government invests in your company, much as a venture capitalist or angel might. The key difference is the government is often more interested in economic stimulus and less anxious about the return on the investment - so there's less pressure on you to deliver short term profits to them right away.

An example of equity financing would be the Venture Capital Limited Partnerships Progrfrom the Commonwealth Government. Funds are provided to private-sector investment managers to invest in small Australian companies with an innovative idea to commercialise. These private sectory managers in turn invest these funds in individuals and companies with the innovation and ideas necessary to turn their idea into a profitable business.

Here are some criteria for eligibility for small and medium businesses:
1)    having a strong management team;
2)    show proof of a profitable business;
3)    have excellent financial controls;
4)    able to showcase a competitive advantage.
