Selecting a source of finance
A business should always look at: Amount: Example an overdraft for €200, a long term loan for €200,000. A business needs to ensure they select the best source. Cheap items may be suitable to short term finance, and more expensive ones to long term finance Cost: Factors such as interest rates and repayment structures should be taken into account- generally the cheaper the better. A wise business shops around Risk: What collateral (security on the loan) is required and what do you lose if you cannot meet the repayment
9
Internal vs External A business will match its source of finance to expenditure. There is no point in taking out a mortgage to buy a pencil for your desk or trying to use a credit card to pay for a few acres of land. You assess what you need and what source of finance suits you best. Therefore, you must decide what source of finance you will use that will best benefit your company. These sources can be internal- as the money comes from inside the company )e.g. profits/ shares, or external- as the money comes from outside the company- e.g. bank loan.

Any profits made are shared to the public Long-Term Loans: This would be like a mortgage over a period of over 20 years. Repayments would need to be paid Retained Profits: This is putting the firms profits back into the company Debentures: A certificate issued that is secured against a long term debt. Interest is also paid Sale and Leaseback: This is the selling of an assest and leasing back over time. The firm receives a large injection of cash and the rent back the property.
