Shares
Shares are equity securities, so buyers of shares that a company issues, become co-owners, and provide long-term funding. In return, the investors (buyers of the shares) want to see the share price increase and/or receive dividends as the company grows and develops.
Bonds
Bonds are debt securities. They let you raise money for a company without diluting its ownership, but they compel you to repay the investors. In offering bonds, a company has control over the terms, including the amount, repayment date, interest payments, and so on.
Equity Securities Market
You can raise funds by issuing shares of ownership to the investors in return for cash.
The GEM Portal is an Online portal that allows Small and Medium sized enterprises to apply for Equity or Debt funding by registering their company details and performance.
