To find out the financing reality of companies (the research sample) that achieves their ability And the competitive advantage compared to its performance in previous periods and with its counterparts in the market in addition to some targeted criteria.

Multiple regression analysis has been relied on and the use of the fixed, random and grouping effect method using the SPSS 24 program).

The research problem arises through the following question (Is there an effect of the internal determinants (company size, The age of the company, the tangibility of the assets, risks, and growth opportunities) and the external determinants (inflation rate, GDP growth, interest rate and exchange rate) in the capital structure of the industrial and investment sectors in Iraq).
