Student’s answer:
DECISION
Shares will definitely be better as long as they are able to raise enough
money from shareholders. This is because shares do not have to be repaid,
unlike a loan. A loan will also incur interest charges which will add to the
business’s costs. Banks might be reluctant to lend to the business it they
think that the takeover is not a good idea. Even if the buy-out works, it might
take time for any financial benefits to appear, but the loan will still need to be
repaid every month. So issuing shares is a better option.
Final mark: 6/6
