Financing Operations

When you manage a business you may from time to time need an extra input of capital.

Maybe you need capital because you want to:
  • Expand your business
  • Cover the loss of an order
  • A big customer did not pay at time
  • Unexpected expenses incurred by external parties

Financing simply means raising the necessary funds to cover your needs.

Different sources

There are several sources of finance ranging from the immediate ones such as your private savings, friends and family to external ones such as banks and investors.
Common sources of finance include:

Savings

You could contribute personally to the financing. The more self-financing the less people you have to ask for support. If you do not have money in the bank, maybe you have un-mortgaged property value, shares, or a car.

Friends and family

It might be a good idea to get friends and family financially involved in your business as this will motivate them to help you find customers.

A 1.000 –1.500 $ investment in your business will probably not get any of your friends into serious trouble, should you not meet your goals and not be able to repay them.

Banks and savings banks

Most small businesses finance there business operation through bank loans. What do banks require to lend you money?
The best tool for obtaining the necessary financing for establishing a business from a banker is a detailed business plan or a plan for the spending of the needed capital. And a pay back plan.

Investors

Finding private investors willing to invest time and money in your business is another option.

If you have so much confidence in your concept that you believe it constitutes an attractive investment object you should definitely try to approach potential investors.

In order to make your business concept attractive to an investor you must be able to offer a unique business concept and provide information material on your project.

In other words, you have to create an attractive and interesting basis for business activities in order for your potential investors to eventually make a profit from your concept.

Financing of investments

If you have large single investments such as acquisition of buildings, vehicles, or costly machinery, such investments often require a specific investment programme as they must be financed on special terms. Consult your accountant or different adviser on this subject.
