| Abstract: | The information cost of financing should be a concern of financial managers and top corporate executives. Two types of information costs are discussed. The first is "score information premium" which financiers require as compensation for the risk associated with the unknown and second is "financial expectations gap" which exists between corporate management and the players in the financial markets. Steps that should be taken to reduce these costs are suggested. International financing patterns are also discussed. It is argued that the information cost of financing is consistent with statistically observed financing patterns. |
