If this was my essay question I would walk down to my local M&S and ask to speak t the manager. Ask him/her the question and they will explain it to you. You will also get good marks for using your initiative. Not everything can be found on the internet!

You can scan through their annual report here: http://www.marksandspencer.com/gp/node/n/43436 031/026-1266864-4702864?ie=UTF8&mnSBrand=core

It's a plc so it has share capital, so it raises finance from shareholders. That's probably main source.

It also reinvests profits.

It also issued debt:
