land and building of the issuing company. Debenture holders
have a prior claim on the earnings (coupon) and ASSETS in

The company can raise funds in different ways. Some of the
ways are:
1)Company Bonds- kind of a loan taken from investors. Bonds
have a validity, after which company has to repay the whole
principle amount.Investors have nothing to do with company
decision making.
2)Debentures- Almost same as bonds, but they dont have any
validity. Investors get the interest on their investment
like in case of Bonds.
3)Preferred Shares- These are preferred over equity shares
in case of dividend distribution as well as during
liquidation of the company.
4)Equity Shares- common shares that the peple can buy from
stock market. They are the most risky investment and last
one to get dividends.
