These are now conditions in which one is right to sell contracts with a reduced contribution, which makes it easier to get contracts. That in turn should go nearer to filling the company’s capability to do work, which is what the plan was based on. This is called ‘marginal selling’. The logic here is the exact opposite to that proposed by my late colleague, the keen Sales Director. If the company has under-used capacity, then any contribution which can be made from it is better than none. Suppose you plan a long car journey, and a chap says “You’re alone in the car, so give me a lift and I’ll pay my share of the fuel”.
A company can raise capital either by creating and selling more shares or by borrowing it. Selling shares effectively means selling a part of the company. Shareholders expect to see some return on their money in the form of dividend payments and/or growth in the share price. That doesn’t have to happen every year but, overall, shareholders rightly expect a better return from shares than they could have got from putting the money into a safe savings account. Dividend payments are not directly related to the profit or loss.
Raising capital by selling shares When a company is first formed, it must have some nominal share capital, though it can be a very small sum. It may also have shares which have not yet been issued. At any time the shareholders can agree, at a General Meeting, to issue more shares and sell them. Chapter 5 When I and four colleagues started the specialist process plant contracting company which I mentioned earlier, we needed to raise capital. This is what we did – the figures are simplified and should be multiplied by about 3 to allow for inflation since then, but the essence is correct.
