Course Overview
Why is debt management important? When it comes to raising finance, a company has several sources for the acquisition of funds. These sources can be broadly categorized into debt and equity. Equity share and preference share issues are a popular way of raising funds through selling shares of the company to the general public and institutional investors.
Methods of debt financing include the issue of debentures, term loans, trade credit, etc. Within the business sphere, both debt and equity have their advantages and disadvantages. No single avenue is considered best. For this reason, no company prefers to finance its investment through a single source.
Often businesses try to find an ideal mix between debt and equity. However, this is where it gets tricky. Debt financing up to a certain magnitude can fetch some benefits for the business. Debt is a tax-deductible expense that allows businesses to reduce their tax liability.
Also, with debt financing businesses can prevent from ownership being diluted to external investors. But how much debt should be considered acceptable? If debt financing is given too much weightage, outcomes for the business can spell disaster. It is the legal obligation of the business to timely service its debt- even if it is running losses! This calls for astute debt management.
Debt management is a strategic way of structuring the debts of a business in a manner that doesn’t prove burdensome for the company. It calls for careful calculation of the debt servicing capacity of the firm and borrows accordingly.
Adept management of borrowings can become the first stepping stone towards becoming a debt-free company. It involves setting up a comprehensive debt policy that will clearly establish the comfortable level of debt within the firm without compromising its credit rating.
What various sources of credit are available to the firm? Should the business use secure debt or unsecured debt to finance its operations? How much financial leverage should be applied by the firm? What effect will debt have on the liquidity of the firm? These questions pertaining to the debt financing of the firm, call for a concrete debt management framework.
Knowledge about debt management will guide the managers to achieve optimal capital structure and develop an inclusive debt policy. It becomes crucial to do so otherwise it can negatively hamper the firm’s reputation and credit rating which in turn affects its ability to avail future credit.
