Debt Funding
What is debt funding?
Debt funding is a method for a business to raise capital through means of borrowing. This funding is often secured against a tangible asset and will be repaid at a later date, typically through regular payments with additional interest.
To secure debt funding, therefore, your business should have a financial track record and be able to demonstrate that you can repay the borrowed funds. Debt funding is suitable for businesses that would prefer to retain ownership and decision rights.
Interested in how debt funding could help grow your business?
Key Considerations
Debt financing allows you to maintain complete control of your business as the sole decision-maker. This type of funding can be easier to acquire compared to other routes, and once your debt is paid your liability is over.
Debt funding means that the business is in debt for a period of time, and therefore must have sufficient cash flow to pay the principal and interest obligations tied to the loan.
As a result, collateral against the value of the borrowed sum is often required.
Key Benefits
There are a number of benefits to debt funding, including:
- Access Working Capital
- Build Credit History
- Tax Advantages
- Retain Profit
