Capital Structure

Capital structure refers to the mix of funding sources a company uses to finance its operations and growth. It’s like a financial recipe with two main ingredients: debt (borrowed money) and equity (shareholder investment). The ideal balance depends on the company’s goals and risk tolerance. A higher debt ratio can lead to faster growth and greater risk, while a higher equity ratio is more conservative but may limit growth potential.
