Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A company is said to be overleveraged when it has too much debt, impeding its ability to make principal and interest payments and to cover operating expenses. Being overleveraged typically leads to a downward financial spiral resulting in the need to borrow more.

Detailed explanation-2: -Debt financing occurs when a company raises money by selling debt instruments, most commonly in the form of bank loans or bonds. Such a type of financing is often referred to as financial leverage.

Detailed explanation-3: -Debt financing means you’re borrowing money from an outside source and promising to pay it back with interest by a set date in the future. Equity financing means someone is putting money or assets into the business in exchange for some percentage of ownership. Each has its pros and cons depending on your needs.

Detailed explanation-4: -What is the difference between debt and equity finance? With debt finance you’re required to repay the money plus interest over a set period of time, typically in monthly instalments. Equity finance, on the other hand, carries no repayment obligation, so more money can be channelled into growing your business.
