At present, the financing methods of Chinese enterprises are mainly as follows: absorbing direct investment, issuing stocks, using retained earnings, borrowing from banks, using commercial credit, issuing corporate bonds, financing leasing and leveraged buyout.

Financing channels solve the problem of the source of funds, and financing methods solve the problem of how to obtain funds. There is a certain correspondence between them. A certain financing method may only be applicable to a specific financing channel, but funds from the same channel can often be obtained in different ways, and the same financing method is often applicable to different financing channels. Therefore, enterprises should realize the reasonable cooperation between the two when raising funds.
