ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF ISSUING EQUITY AND CORPORATE BONDS-

COMPANY STOCK (EQUITY)-

Advantage	Disadvantage
Issuing common stocks does not create any any additional interest burden on the company. Company will have to pay to equity holders only incase any surplus is left after repaying other stakeholders.	The share holding gets diluted and EPS gets reduced as now the profit/surplus will be required to be shared between more shareholders.

CORPORATE BONDS-

Advantage	Disadvantage
The share holding does not gets diluted and number of shareholders remain the same. Any additional profit earned by company after repaying other stakeholders will be distributed amongst the orignal shareholders in the same profit sharing ratio.
