liabilities

Everything a company owes to others, like loans and bills it still has to pay.

The fuller meaning

A company's obligations: debt, payables and other amounts owed, listed on the balance sheet against assets. Assets minus liabilities equals shareholders' equity, or book value; liabilities growing faster than assets weaken financial health.
