Abstract: The aim of this study is to analyse the financing choices of multibusiness firms, in terms of debt-maturity. The results suggest that the degree of product diversification and the direction of diversification (related or unrelated) translate into different corporate financial behaviours. In particular, diversification related or unrelated had opposite effects on debt-maturity; the former strategy has a negative effect whereas the latter has a positive influence on debt-maturity.
