Although you speak of a common reality, that is not intirely true.
People invest their money in companies on a daily basis, without being
majority equity holder. Its called the stock market. The big difference is
public versus private comapny. But there are many type of agreements to
guarantee payback of an investment, without controlling stock, that can't be
undone by the controlling partner. For example, the payback/ROI terms
defined in an enforceable agreement. The point I'm making is that the terms
of a loan do not have to be fixed, and can have variables based on certain
things happening. For example for every dollar paid out in payroll, a dollar
needs to be repaid back to loan, if not, lender has right to demand payment
in full, at top priority over future lenders or agreements, etc. Which
could result in the take over of the company, by the investor, if the owner
is not responsible.

FWIW...no invester (other than friends and family) worth their salt will
be
willing to invest capital into the company for a minority position, as
that
is basically a sure way to guarantee the loss of their money
That said, there is a fool born every day

First ask yourself, "how much control and equity am I willing to give up"?
