Making an appropriate combination and balance of internal and external finance can insure the firm growth and increase shareholders’ assets considering the firm status into account. In the present study, the relationship between financial leverage and firm growth has been studied and its sensitivity due to cash flow was investigated. So, the simultaneous effect of internal and external sources of finance on firm growth is studied. The research sample consists of 88 listed firms in Tehran Stock Exchange over the period 2007-2012. Those firms had the basic primary conditions necessary for the research are selected as sample firms. The Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimation, Eviews software and Stata software are used to analyze the data and test the hypotheses.
