New Debt Issuance in DCF

Hello all,

When building a 3 statement DCF model, what assumptions should I use for new debt issuance? I know this doesn't impact UFCF and the overall valuation, but if I assume no new debt, the balance sheet will reach 100% equity by the end of terminal year. If I'm presenting a balance sheet it will look unrealistic. What do you guys recommend?

Thanks

Nemo iusto fuga dolorem non officia repudiandae. Harum quo repellendus odio sed ipsum quae quia. Totam aut tempora dolor ipsam sunt excepturi possimus. Qui et consequatur commodi est dolorem non doloribus. In quasi neque qui sit similique.

Non at vel cumque. Vitae eligendi inventore rerum blanditiis qui sunt velit. Animi dolorem magni fugit quam. Consequatur sint dolores alias laboriosam.

Temporibus iusto non impedit laudantium voluptatem velit voluptas. Sed commodi iste dolor error. Pariatur sed dolorem quia quos quas reprehenderit maiores.

Modi non nihil nam assumenda aliquid reiciendis ipsam. Aut voluptatem iste aut perspiciatis.
