Creditor

A creditor is a party who lends money or extends credit to a company, or otherwise has claim on its assets.

Companies or individuals who buy bonds, for example, are lending money to the issuing organization and become its creditors. in the event that a bond-issuing company shuts down and is liquidated, the claims of bond holding creditors are paid first before preferred stock shareholders.
