Results. On the basis of the present state of the methodology of the strategic financial analysis of company’s capital, it is theoretically grounded methodological approach to the capital structure optimization of the flour-and-cereals industry’s enterprises. As the result of the research, it is established that the level of equity profitability and effectiveness of company’s financial and economic activity are connected with the structure of funding sources. Therefore, to determine the target capital structure, it is proposed to take into account comprehensively such factors as the adjusted profitability of capital (assets) before interest and weighted average cost of capital. Since the company’s equity is characterized by a certain value, to determine the criterion of optimal capital structure, it is necessary to take into consideration the amount of expenses to maintain the existing funding structure. So, there is the necessity to use the modified model to assess the effect of financial leverage, considering the average cost of capital. The utilization of this criterion requires establishing additional limits of the optimal capital structure formation: restrictions on the functioning capital adequacy, on the level of financial stability, on the inalienability of differential of financial leverage, on the level of financial risk. The obtained results have the practical value because they contribute to systems integration of the strategic financial analysis of capital and the financial management requirements and create conditions for its implementation in practice of domestic enterprises. Value/originality. The suggested model of capital optimization can be used to determine its structure according to the necessity in loan capital and its limit value, which may involve the company at an acceptable level of financial risk.
