Understanding Capital Structure
Capital structure refers to how a business finances its operations through a combination of debt and equity. Companies utilize these two primary sources to raise funds needed for growth: debt involves taking loans or issuing bonds, while equity entails selling shares. An important aspect to consider is how these methods affect the company's risk and returns over time. For instance, established companies like Apple may opt for debt financing due to lower interest rates, while younger, growth-focused firms might rely on issuing stock to fund their rapid expansion.
