How to say "financing" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- 金融きんゆうnounCovers finance and financing as a broad field of money and credit, such as banking and loans. It names the sector or activity rather than a specific act of raising funds for something.
- 融資ゆうしnoun, suru verb, transitive verbThe act of extending a loan, financing done by a bank or lender. Use this when 'financing' means someone provides money to a borrower as credit.
- 出資しゅっしnoun, suru verb, transitive verb, intransitive verbFinancing in the sense of putting up capital or making an investment in a company or venture. It highlights contributing one's own money as an investment rather than lending.
- 資金繰りしきんぐりnounFinancing and fundraising as the practical, often worrisome business of raising and managing money to keep operations going; also means cash flow management.
- 出金しゅっきんnoun, suru verb, transitive verb, intransitive verbSeldom the word you want for 'financing'; it really means withdrawing money from an account, or a payment or disbursement, so avoid it when you mean raising or providing funds.
Use 金融 for finance/credit as a field, 融資 for lending money, 出資 for contributing capital, 「資金繰り」 for managing cash flow, and avoid 出金, which means withdrawal or payment.
