Short term

Debt is a loan borrowed from either banks or financial institutions.

this loan must be serviced with interest and later the payment of the principal.

1) In some countries (examle Kenya ) interest is a tax free item,so its more cheaper bcoz it reduces tax burden.

2)When raising a detbt, the cost is more minimal coz one needs only the necessary books of a/cs(t,p and l) take to bank and present them to credit controller.
