A shareholder OR debtholder OR stakeholder is basically just another word for an investor, somebody who buys a company's stock. A shareholder OR stakeholder OR debtholder is simply somebody who has an interest or something at stake when it comes to how a business is run.

That's why it is important to look at all the debtholders OR shareholders OR stakeholders" and how they might be affected when making business decisions.
