When a startup is at a stage where they can afford to pay lawyers tens of thousands of dollars, they will do a "priced round". At this point, you are a shareholder owning equity, and you earn a return if the value of that stock goes up over time, and you are able to sell it. These will convert your investment to stock at a later date if the company raises a "priced round" from major investors, most often venture capitalists. Most early-stage technology startups use a Convertible Note or Simple Agreement for Future Equity. The faster the business grows revenue, the faster you earn a return, and the higher your effective interest rate. Unlike a loan, a revenue share returns a fixed amount of money (such as 2X your investment), but the time it takes to repay depends on how well the business does. A simple loan, just like your car loan, has a fixed repayment schedule known in advance. Some local businesses offer a simple loan or revenue share.

Rule 506 can be used to raise any amount of capital regardless of how small or large and is the most widely used Rule under Regulation D.
