<prompt> Human: Hello all. I have an interesting opportunity to invest in the company I work at for a stake but I dont have a very good idea of how it all works.The company has been growing for the last 5 years, about 20 - 50 each year. However, this year we hit a rough patch and are looking for investors. I mentioned to my boss I might consider taking out and loan to invest and he was open to the idea.Some info about me: Im 28 yo, single, no wife, kids or debt, and gross 49K after bonuses. The company grossed 10 million last year. My credit score is excellent, at around 780ish. Monthly expenses rent, food, gas, etc. is about 2,000mo.Some of the questionsconcerns I have are: Given my income, what would be an appropriate sized loan and what interest rate can I expect to get? How does one calculate the stake received? What are some common pitfalls and how can I avoid them? Is this even worth it or should I stay the F away?Thanks in advance.EDIT: Added my current monthly expenses.  <response>: No. Speculation on company stock is a bad idea, especially when its not your money and your source of income is essentially at stake.
