Role of the U.S. Financial System
           The role of the U.S. financial system is highly
important when corporations are seeking capital to expand operations. A variety of methods exist, some short term
while others are considered long term.Â
Additionally, financing methods include equity and debt. Equity financing provides a stake in
ownership, whereas debt financing provides zero ownership in the business. While short term methods are commonly used by
many companies, long term financing garners far more attention, research, and
regulation.
