Would a venture capitalist (or a business angel) be looking for an all-share deal, or would they be willing to put up debt capital as well?
Some venture capitalists are certainly willing to think in terms of putting up both equity and debt capital, though they would be unlikely to consider a deal for debt alone. That is what banks are for. If you do want a debt and equity package, however, you would do better to get your own intermediary to put it together: after all, you are 'buying' this money, and you do not want to tie yourself in too tightly to any one supplier.
