Debt, Notes and Bonds Payable

Debt, notes, and bonds payable represent financial obligations that a company owes to external parties, typically structured as formal written agreements or promissory notes that stipulate repayment terms, interest rates, and maturity dates. These liabilities can range from short-term borrowings, such as loans and notes due within a year, to long-term debt instruments like corporate bonds, which are due beyond one year and are key components in a company's capital structure.
