Answer

A business entity has several ways of raising its math. One of the ways is the issuance of debentures or creditorship securities. When a company lends out money to others, the borrowing entity signs a document to acknowledge the debt. Debentures are components of the capital that the company is borrowed, whereas the entities or individuals indented to the company are the creditors. Creditorship is therefore the state of being a creditor. A company which has issued several debts has a low gearing. There should be a balance between the ownership and the creditorship capital, where the focus should be to raise the ownership capital.
