Well, I think firstly, scale is important. Are you looking to have a business partner or two, or are you looking to go public and raise capital that way? 

A business partner shouldn't be too worried about you running away. They'd know you on a personal basis and would have a say directly before you go spending any money. 

Or you could crowdfund. Raise capital, and pay them back with product not equity. 

But fuck it, if you want to raise capital and people want to invest in you, go ahead. Beaurocracy is expensive, maybe you don't want to spend half the money raised paying intermediaries.
