It is internal because it is the profits that the company have created and there are is no external interference. It is interest free because it is not a loan or mortgage, it is a surplus of cash which has been created by good business and there are no interest rates that need to be paid. It is variable because you are not guaranteed to have retained profits at the end of every financial quarter.

It is internal and this means that if a company has assets like a bouncy castle company then if they sold a bouncy castle to raise capital for the company then that would be a sale of assets. It is interest free of course so there is no fee to be paid on the selling of assets; it is purely a quick capital raiser.
