            Sources of External Finance 2004
Eight Basic Facts
1.   Stocks are not the most important sources of external
     financing for businesses
2.   Issuing marketable debt and equity securities is not the
     primary way in which businesses finance their
     operations
3.   Indirect finance is many times more important than
     direct finance
4.   Financial intermediaries are the most important source
     of external funds
Eight Basic Facts (cont’d)

5.   The financial system is among the most heavily
     regulated sectors of the economy
6.   Only large, well-established corporations have easy
     access to securities markets to finance their
     activities
7.   Collateral is a prevalent feature of debt contracts
8.   Debt contracts are extremely complicated legal
     documents that place substantial restrictive
     covenants on borrowers
Not everything should be
funded
