When it is time for your small business to raise large sums of cash without borrowing from a lender, you have two choices. You can sell stocks or bonds. Selling stocks means allowing investors to buy shares of your company, which means they actually own a piece of it. Selling bonds means borrowing money from investors and paying interest to them. Each method works, but there are different consequences for how you run and grow your company.

Submit your decision to issue stock or to issue bonds to raise capital for your business. Also give at least two reasons for your decision.
