Question
The hierarchy of preferred shareholders can enhance a company's business strategy in several ways. Firstly, it can attract investors as preferred shares are a more attractive option due to their higher claim on the company's assets and earnings. They receive dividends before common shareholders, and in the event of a liquidation, preferred shareholders will be paid off before common shareholders. Secondly, it can provide a company with a stable source of funding. This can be particularly beneficial for companies that are in the growth phase or those that need to finance large projects. Lastly, it can help to maintain control within the company. By issuing preferred shares, the company can raise capital without diluting the voting power of the existing common shareholders.
