I'm not sure how your title relates to your question, but I think the question you're trying to ask is "how do we go about raising funding?". If that is correct, you need to take a look at your business growth opportunity. If you're a profitable business making $10m/year, why do you want to take investement? If you're able to say "we currently make x, but with investment of y, we can do a,b,c which will turn us into an company making 10xy making your investment of y worth 100y", then you can go raise capital from a VC or angel. If you are thinking more along the lines of "our company makes x/year, and we can build the business to make x1.y (where y> the interest rate you can get financing at but less 1), then you would likely be looking at more conservative financial tools, like a loan from the bank. If you go the VC route, the question you're going to be asked is "why is now the time for the business to make this growth, why not before, why are you the guys to do it".
