    Solution

    Quasi-equity is a hybrid form of finance with characteristics of both  de bt  and equity investments. Quasi-equity offers non-dilutive equity risk capital that is paid back based on the performance of the company.    Q uasi-equity financing  would include either being an unsecured loan or being a flexible loan repayment schedule.
