I sold my equity vs I sold my company

Both phrases are correct, but they convey different meanings. 'I sold my equity' implies that the person sold their ownership stake in a company or investment. On the other hand, 'I sold my company' means that the person sold the entire business they owned. The choice between the two phrases depends on what exactly was sold - either the ownership stake (equity) or the entire business (company).
