The analogy has a lot of problems.

Imagine you got a loan to buy a bunch of laundry machines to run a laundromat. But your laundromat earns $8,000 a month, and the loan payment is $10,000.

You can decide to sink $2,000 of your personal money into the laundromat every month, or you can give up.

The business owes the money or the fund. In any case the individuals do not unless they backed it with personal collateral.
