10 Shark Tank Terms Everyone Must Be Familiar With

1. Valuation

2. Equity

One of the most used Shark Tank terms is Equity. As the term suggests, it is associated with equality but it’s not. Equity in business language means the ownership of an asset excluding all the debts and liabilities.

Still not clear? Let’s learn from an example. Suppose you bought a car worth Rs 5 lakh but you owe50% of the amount as debt, then the car’s value as an equity is 50% i.e. Rs 2.5 Lakh. In other words, equity is value of total assets subtracting the total number of liabilities on it.

3. Supply Chain

6. D2C

9. Retailers
