equity stakes
Company ownership shares
Equity stakes are ownership shares in a company or asset.
Unlike loans, which must be repaid, an equity stake makes you a partial owner entitled to a portion of profits and losses.
Investors take equity stakes in startups hoping for large returns; private equity firms acquire equity stakes in established companies.
