  • Raising Finance
    • When raising finance,there are three vital questions to ask
      • How Secure is the source?-sale of shares is 100% secure, bank overdrafts can be cancelled so not as secure.
      • How expensive is the source?- when starting a business due to high risk = investors wanting high rewards
      • Is enough being released?- unknown issues can asrise, always burrow 25% extra than expected as a safey net
    • planning finance decisions
      • The rule is simple it is: short term needs require short term finance;long term needs require long term finance
    • Types of short term finance
      • Trade credit
      • Getting a longer credit is an effective way to raise short-term finance. For a small business start up this is almost impossible to do at the start
    • Conclusion
      • When deciding how to raise capital, the starting point is  to identify how much you need and how long you need it for.Broadly, there are three options:
        • Loan captial
        • Share captial
        • Internal sources, such as reinvesting the profit the firm is making.
      • Most experts would then advise balancing out the capital: in other words, not relying too much on share capital and not too much on loans
