What kinds of companies are most likely to generate internal capital (i.e., retained earnings and leverage) and why don't they have as much access to external capital (investors)?

 

Financial institutions such as banks tends to generate more internal capital because they make profits from the money that they hold in their treasury and hence reinvest it in other ventures. They're different from the other types of companies because they do not depend on the production of goods to make profits, banks make profits from the interest earned from the borrowers after loans are rent to them.
