Loan versus Share Capital from the company's perspective, share capital represents a less "onerous" way of raising capital. The company is only liable to pay dividend payments when it can afford to do so. In addition, any such payments usually only equate to 2 - 3% of the market value of the equity per annum. In the case of loan capital, the company would be liable for repayment of the capital and interest at regular set intervals at a rate close to the current prime rate.
To the investor on the other hand, share capital usually also represents the preferred option, provided the dividend yield and capital growth (increase in the share price) exceeds any income which would have been received had the capital sum been loaned out instead. This is typically the case with most JSE listed companies.
So share capital is clearly the preferred option for raising capital from both the investor and the company's perspective.
