Abstract
The company's ability to identify potential funding sources both internal and external, are the main factors of growth and development. The main objective of companies is to maximize shareholder wealth and the company's capital structure is one of the factors contributing to this, that involve financial resources commensurate with the risk and return. On the other hand, several studies have shown that due to the problems of the traditional theory of capital structure, one of the most important factors, affecting the issues of financing in companies, is financial flexibility. This study examines the impact of financial flexibility on capital structure decisions. For this purpose, the companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange, 108companies were selected and financial data for the years 1382 to 1392 were studied. The results indicate that current period financial flexibility has a significant and positive relationship with capital structure. The results also suggest that for companies that have negative marginal value of cash, financial flexibility in capital structure decisions, is a priority.
