Some types of debt financing include

Bonds: Often known as ‘fixed income’ securities, bonds tend to be linked to public companies, but private firms can also issue them through middlemen. Debentures: These are a kind of bond, but instead of having collateral, the company just leans on its reputation. Bank loans: This is something most people probably know about. Smaller businesses have faced issues lately because banks have tightened up on giving out loans, which forces small companies to look for other options.
