Shareholders’ equity

If a company was going to sell all of its assets to pay all of its liabilities both long-term and current debt, the remaining money is known as the “shareholder’s equity”.

In cases where the company is not able to raise the funds enough to cover for the debts, then the company will have a net liability, known as “negative shareholder’s equity”
