Explanation:

Cash flow positions: Cash flows must not only cover fixed cash payment obligations but there must be sufficient buffer also. 

Regulatory framework: Every company operates within a regulatory framework provided by the law e.g., public issue of shares and debentures have to be made under SEBI guidelines.

Stock market conditions:  If the stock markets are bullish, equity shares are more easily sold even at a higher price. However, during a bearish phase, a company, may find raising of equity capital more difficult and it may opt for debt.

Capital structure of other companies: A useful guideline in the capital structure planning is the debt equity ratios of other companies in the same industry. There are usually some industry norms which may help.
