Isn't it just the same thing? You loan the company money and in return they give you a note that says you get a portion of the company and dividends?

Different mechanics, but stripping everything away, roughly the same.

No, because if the company loses money you lose too.

With Usury/Debt you pay for lending money and you pay whatever the enterprise makes money or not.
