borrowing (adjective, bor-row-ing, \ ˈbɑːroʊɪŋ \) powers (noun, pow-ers, \ ˈpaʊərz \)
Definition: is a legal capability of an incorporated organization to get itself into debt. Typically, the company’s board of directors possesses the power to borrow funds on its behalf. However, in most cases, the company’s articles of association or bylaws strictly define the limits of when and up to what amount its management has the freedom to do so. Additionally, the level of the borrowing powers of a company depends on the amount and quality of its assets and how little in debt it already is.
In a Sentence:

- The existence of borrowing powers is essential for a company’s ability to evolve as a business, as they allow it to make investments in new equipment, technology, or other kinds of resources.
