Also known as capital stock, this represents the original capital paid into or invested in the business by its founders. It serves as a security for the creditors of a business, since it cannot be withdrawn to the detriment of the creditors. Stock is distinct from the property and the assets of a business, which may fluctuate in quantity and value. Equity includes share capital, share premium, and reserves.
