Equity Capital Raising
Equity capital raising is the process by which a company seeks to attract investment by selling shares of its ownership to investors. This can occur through public offerings, where shares are sold on stock exchanges, or private placements, where shares are sold directly to selected investors. By raising equity capital, the company gains funds to invest in growth, pay off debts, or improve operations without incurring debt. In return for their investment, shareholders gain ownership in the company and may receive dividends or benefit from an increase in share value over time.
