Long-Term Sources of Finance

Equity Shares: -
The ownership capital in a corporation is represented by equity shares, also referred to as
common shares. The owners of these shares are the company's legitimate owners. They hold
all the company's voting rights and have unrestricted claim to its assets and income.
Maximising the value of a company's stock shares is its main goal. They assume ownership
risk as they are the business's owners. Once the preferred dividends have been paid, they are
eligible for dividends. The amount of the dividend paid on these shares is not fixed and is
determined by the availability of distributable profits and the directors' intentions.
In prosperous times, they may receive greater dividend rates, but they also run the danger of
receiving no pay-outs during difficult times. Like this, at the dissolution of the business, they
may exercise their claim over any assets that remain after paying all other claims, including
those of preference shareholders.
Advantages Disadvantages

Increase in Borrowing Capacity No advantage of Trading on Equity
Not Bound to pay Dividend Manipulation of groups of shareholders
No Need to mortgage the Assets

Loans From Financial Institution: -


Another crucial source of long-term funding is financial institutions. The Government of
India has established a variety of special financial institutions at the national and state levels
to offer medium- and long-term loans to industrial companies.
At the national level, financial institutions have been established, such as the Industrial
Development Bank of India (IDBI), Industrial Finance Corporation of India (IFCI), Industrial
Credit and Investment Corporation of India (ICICI), Industrial Reconstruction Corporation of
India (IRCI), Unit Trust of India (UTI), Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), and
General Insurance Corporation (GIC).
State Financial Corporations (SFCs) and State Industrial Development Corporations are
financial organisations created at the state level (SIDCs). For instance, the state of Haryana
has formed the Haryana State Financial Corporation (HFC) and the Haryana State Industrial
Development Corporation (HSIDC).
