corporate debt
Business loan obligations
Corporate debt is money that companies borrow, typically by issuing bonds or taking loans from financial institutions.
Unlike equity, debt must be repaid with interest regardless of company performance.
The firm's corporate debt load made investors nervous.
Corporate debt markets allow companies to finance expansion, acquisitions, or operations without diluting ownership.
