Capital Expenditure Funding (CEF) is a type of funding used to finance the long-term investments that companies need to grow and remain competitive in their markets. CEF involves taking on debt or raising equity capital in order to purchase assets, such as property, machinery, equipment and technology, which will be used over longer periods of time. By investing in these strategic assets, companies can increase their production capacities or introduce new products and services, leading to increased revenues and profits. CEF is a major factor in how businesses raise funds and manage their long-term growth.
