Answer:
Private debt - Private debt is the debt accumulated by individuals or private businesses. Private debt can take numerous forms; a personal loan, credit card, corporate bond or business loan for instance.
if we go with this way for infusion of $200,000 then balance sheet will have more liabilities in terms of debt and interest expense will also increase, however the good thing is that this loan can be available easily with the help of friends and relatives and secondly company can take advantage of tax shield where company can save on taxes by paying less tax as company need to give interest to the debt lenders and tax will be calculated after deducting interest from the profit. Here company can also save on interest as relative or friends will charge less interest as compared to public debt.
Private debt comes with numerous pitfalls and risks for the applicant. When a loan is provided by family or friends, missed repayments can cause tension and even result in the end ofrelationship. Debt incurred with a credit provider may result in high levels of interest, charges for missed payments or demands for security.
Private transfer of Partial and Entire ownership - Transfer of shares refers to the transfer of ownership. Shares of a company are movable property and thus can be transferred like any other property. In other words, when an existing shareholder transfers the issued shares to the other person who is registered as the holder of those shares, the process can be termed as a transfer of shares. A public company can freely transfer its shares but there are some restrictions on the transfer of shares by a private company. The restrictions are imposed in order to protect the rights of investors and shareholders.
When private company shareholders transfer entire ownership it means they are not the owner of the company anymore, whereas partial transfer refers to the transfer of a percentage of total ownership which gives away only partial ownership from the existing shareholders and make partial shareholders to the new shareholders.
public debt issuance - A debt issue is a fixed corporate or government obligation, such as a bond or debenture. A debt issue is a financial obligation that allows the issuer to raise funds by promising to repay the lender at a certain point in the future and in accordance with the terms of the contract. cost of this debt is paid in the form of interest which is a percentage of total Face value of bond.
if we go with this way for infusion of $200,000 then balance sheet will have more liabilities in terms of debt and interest expense will also increase, however the good thing is that this loan can be available easily with the help of friends and relatives and secondly company can take advantage of tax shield where company can save on taxes by paying less tax as company need to give interest to the debt lenders and tax will be calculated after deducting interest from the profit. Public debt usually comes with higher interest rates and also brings risk as company has to to repay it's debt before giving any kind of dividend to shareholders.
public equity offering - A public offering is the sale of equity shares or other financial instruments by an organization to the public in order to raise funds for business expansion and investment. Public offerings of corporate securities in the U.S. must be registered with and approved by the SEC and are normally conducted by an investment underwriter.
THis option is good as company does not become liable to pay any kind of interest or repay the amount, as their returns are dependent upon the company's profitability higher the earnings higher would be the returns but the bad part is it dilutes the shareholders ownership.
