Equity vs Equity share

Equity means The value of an asset after all debts and other liabilities have been deducted.

Equity refers to the ownership stake in a company. It is calculated as the total assets of a company minus its total liabilities. Equity can be held by shareholders, employees, or other stakeholders.
Equity share is a type of security that represents a unit of ownership in a company.



Equity shares, also known as common shares or ordinary shares, are a type of security that represents ownership in a company. When an investor purchases equity shares, they are buying a portion of the ownership in the company and become a shareholder.

 Equity shares are issued by companies to raise capital from investors. They give investors the right to a share of the company's profits and assets, and the right to vote on corporate decisions.



In other words, equity is the overall ownership of a company, while equity share is a specific type of security that represents a portion of that ownership.
