New Equity Shares<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Equity shares are the most expensive source of funds because they represent a permanent claim on the company&#8217;s assets. This means that equity shareholders have a right to a share of the company&#8217;s profits, even if the company is not profitable. They also have a right to a share of the company&#8217;s assets if the company is liquidated.<\/p>\n<p>Preference shares are a type of equity share that has a higher claim on the company&#8217;s assets than ordinary shares.

However, preference shares are still less expensive than equity shares because they do not have the same voting rights as ordinary shares.<\/p>\n<p>Debt is a loan that a company takes from a lender. The lender has a right to be repaid the loan, plus interest, on a specified date. Debt is a cheaper source of funds than equity shares because the lender does not have a claim on the company&#8217;s assets.
