Expert: Ernesto Gomes - 10/5/2009

Question
Why is it risky to finance a business through borrowing than equity

Answer
Kwame,
check out this example summarizing quite well the difference.

From the top of my head I would say that (usually) cash is more volatile then equity and therefore your risk of deterioration is higher.

regards E.
