A sort of financial product sold to investors is a corporate bond, which is issued by a business. The investor receives a predetermined amount of interest payments at either a fixed or variable interest rate in exchange for providing the firm with the money it requires.
The bond "reaches maturity" when it stops making payments and the initial investment is refunded.
The ability of the corporation to repay the bond often serves as its security, and this ability is based on its expectations for future revenues and profitability. Physical assets of the corporation may occasionally be utilized as collateral.
A state, municipality, or county may issue municipal bonds as a debt security to pay for capital projects like building roads, bridges, or schools. They can be compared to loans given to local governments by investors.
Municipal bonds are particularly appealing to those in higher income tax brackets because they are frequently exempt from federal taxes and the majority of state and local taxes (for residents).
