junk financing

Junk Financing

The act of financing an activity or broader operations through the issue of junk bonds. These bonds have low credit ratings and are comparatively high risk. As a result, the issuer must pay higher interest rates. Junk financing is used in some takeover situations where the acquiring company is cash poor.
