What is debt financing?
Debt Financing: Any funding you repay from operations—loans, leases, lines, and factoring facilities.
How it works
Debt keeps ownership intact and, when structured to match your cash cycle, is far cheaper than equity. The wrong debt (daily-repayment MCAs, mismatched terms) can be worse than equity; the right debt is the cheapest capital in the stack.
