Business monopoly



What comes first to your mind when you hear word monopoly? Is it a monopoly game? Like in the monopoly game A monopoly exists when a specific person or enterprise is the only supplier of a particular commodity, the winner has all the market. This contrasts with a monopsony which relates to a single entity's control of a market to purchase a good or service, and with oligopoly which consists of a few sellers dominating a market.

There are 2 types of monopoly:
Natural monopoly - an organization that experiences increasing returns to scale over the relevant range of output and relatively high fixed costs.
Government-granted monopoly - also known as a de jure monopoly - a form of coercive monopoly by which a government grants an exclusive privilege to a private individual or company to be the sole provider of a commodity.
  • The monopolist will sell a lesser quantity of goods at a higher price than would companies by perfect competition;
  • Monopoly pricing creates a deadweight loss referring to potential gains that went neither to the monopolist nor to consumers
  • The monopoly setting is less efficient than perfect competition
  • Monopolies tend to become less efficient and less innovative over time, becoming complacent
  • The theory of contestable markets argues that in some circumstances (private) monopolies are forced to behave as if there were competition because of the risk of losing their monopoly to new entrants. This is likely to happen when a market's barriers to entry are low.

What are Bonds and how do they work?

Bonds can be a great strategy for your business if you need money to invest in the business.

What are Bonds?
A bond is a fixed income investment in which an investor loans money to an entity which borrows the funds for a defined period of time at a variable or fixed interest rate. Bonds are used by companies, municipalities, states and sovereign governments to raise money and finance a variety of projects and activities. Owners of bonds are debtholders, or creditors, of the issuer.

How do bonds work?
Businesses may issue bonds directly to investors instead of obtaining loans from a bank when they need to raise money to finance new projects, maintain ongoing operations, or refinance existing debts.
The indebted entity issues a bond that contractually states the interest rate that will be paid and the time at which the loaned funds must be returned. The interest rate, called the coupon rate or payment, is the return that bondholders earn for loaning their funds to the issuer.

Does your company have bonds?
