On October 29, Business Advisory Services Senior Associate Vikas Saluja discussed the various private equity investment options for Indian businesses and their analysis from a regulatory and taxation perspective.

Investment into companies can typically be in the form of equity or debt funding - the first involves selling a portion of equity/ shares in the company while the latter involves borrowing a sum of money.

However, equity financing is often preferred as it carries no repayment obligation and provides extra working capital which can be used to expand a business. Moreover, equity funding places no additional financial burden on the company.

Equity financing is also an important business decision as it requires giving out a percentage of the company to the investor along with sharing of profits and consultation on decisions affecting the direction of the Indian business.

Various private equity options are available to a company and it is crucial to understand the impact of each option on shareholding and control, return on investment, repatriation options, tax benefits, and security of funds.
