Debt Financing

Debt Financing is any transaction in which a company (or other borrower) raises capital by borrowing money under a legally binding obligation to repay principal (and typically interest and/or fees) on agreed terms, commonly documented through instruments such as loans, promissory notes, bonds, convertible or non-convertible notes, or credit facilities, and often subject to covenants, security interests/collateral, guarantees, and remedies upon default.
