Debt financing



When a company has to pay for something they have two options, to pay with cash or to finance the purchase. To finance the purchase means that they will get the money from other businesses and sources in return for obligation.  Basically debt financing is when a company  gets a loan and promises to repay the loan over time with interest. Debt refers to the amount of money that has to be repaid and financing refers to providing funds to be used in a business.Companies can use the money to finance short-term needs as well as long term business expenditures. Debt may take a form of a loan or the sale of bonds. 

Another way to raise capital is through equity financing; the company raises money by selling ownership shares in a business. If you compare it with equity finance the good feature of debt financing is that you don't lose ownership of the company. Debt financing is a time-bound activity , where principal must be paid back in full by maturity date along with interest rate. The payments can be monthly, half yearly or some in some other period specified in the borrowing agreement. Loans can be secured with assets of the company.

The biggest advantages of debt financing is that you maintain the ownership in the company. You retain the right to run your business however you like and circumvent the shareholders pressure. Your only obligation is to make the payments on time. With company ownership comes control over management decision. In case of equity financing you can find yourself being less agile in making decisions, because you have to often find approval. Huge attraction of debt financing is the fact that interest payments are tax deductible because they are classified as business expenses. Not all ways of raising funds are possible for smaller businesses. With the debt financing even the smallest business can afford some form of debt financing.
