Small Firm Financing is a financial framework within capital structure theory that specifically governs the sequencing and prioritization of external funding sources by small firms, distinguished from larger firms by their heightened information asymmetry, limited access to public markets, and reliance on internal funds and debt financing in accordance with the pecking order hypothesis.
