External financing refers to the funds that a company raises from sources outside the company, such as banks, investors, or other financial institutions. External financing can take various forms, including equity financing, debt financing, or a combination of both.
When a company needs more funds than it can generate internally from operations, it may seek external financing to finance its growth or to cover its operating expenses. External financing can also be used to finance investments in new projects, research and development, or to support a company's expansion plans.
