Financing Statement

  

See: Financial Statement. And then note that financing usually means that the company raising dough is doing it in one of two ways. Either they are selling ownership stakes in them, or they are borrowing money in the form of debt, such that they then have an obligatoin to pay back that loan...or else. And that "or else" thing usually means that they lose ownership of the company if they don't.

The financing statement covers the myriad legal and financial risks in making all this magic happen.
