internal financing

the ability to finance a firm's growth from retained earnings. A company's NET PROFIT can be paid out in DIVIDENDS or retained for internal financing, or some mixture of these two. Generally, shareholders look for some immediate income in the form of dividends and some growth in the capital value of their shares (which depends on growth of the company). By paying out more dividends, growth is slowed. Achieving the optimum solution between two conflicting objectives is an important area of study in FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT. See COST OF CAPITAL, RETENTION RATIO, RESERVES.
