Download or read book Sources of capital and funding strategies for businesses written by Junaid Javaid and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2014-10-08 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Project Report from the year 2013 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: C, University of Bedfordshire (MSc Finance & Business Management), language: English, abstract: Financial Capital is considered as the superior source of funding required by the firms to begin or to carry its operation. Different theories have been proposed over time to assist managers in making the financing decision. In this regard the Pecking Order theory is the prominent one, which urged the company to give Retained Profit as the first priority whenever the company face the situation to raise capital. Debt is the only attractive alternative which not only supports the company to start and survive but also helps it to expand its operations with the intension of challenging the leaders of the specified industry. The capability of the company to finance its working capital is the major concern which is the main endeavour of finance manager to resolve. It is a essential requirement for the company to settle the account with the supplier of the fund before entering the agreement. The source of capital for Working Capital can be divided in to four main classes (Internal Financing, Security Financing, Loan Financing and other financing sources). It has been understood from the Case Study section, that Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), Lloyds TSB and HBOS would undergo the Bailout package which would not only give the government the stakes within the Bank but also would permitted them to control and monitor compensation and financial plan closely with the help of their appointed Board of Directors. On the other hand Barclays, which would be hoped to avoid government support is looking more resistant to raise £6.5 Billion through private investor and also would scrapped its year 2008 dividend with the initiative of saving £2 Billion. It has been found out that Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), Lloyds TSB and HBOS are more interested in going for Security financing in meeting its working capital needs, whereas Barclays is looking enthusiastic for utilising Loan Financing for the purpose of Sourcing of Capital. It has been cleared that only relying on one source of capital would be a risky option for both new & incumbents in any industry. This point may be cleared through the occurrence of situation where the company needed to repay the associated funds acquired from the one specific source sooner than the company’s plans and projections where the company must look for other sources which would not only make possible for the company to meet its working capital needs but also to weaken the supplier of funds power as well.

As their Millennium Development Goals, world leaders have pledged by 2015 to halve the number of people living in extreme poverty and hunger, to achieve universal primary education, to reduce child mortality, to halt the spread of HIV/AIDS, and to halve the number of people without safe drinking water. Achieving these goals requires a large increase in the flow of financial resources to developing countries - double the present development assistance from abroad. Examining innovative ways to secure these resources, this book sets out a framework for the economic analysis of different sources of funding, applying the tools of modern public economics to identify the key issues. It examines the role of new sources of overseas aid, considers the fiscal architecture and the lessons that can be learned from federal fiscal systems, asks how far increased transfers impose a burden on donors, and investigates how far one can separate raising resources from their use. In turn, the book examines global environmental taxes (such as a carbon tax) the taxation of currency transactions (the Tobin tax), a development-focused allocation of Special Drawing Rights by the IMF, the UK Government proposal for an International Finance Facility, increased private donations for development purposes, a global lottery (or premium bond), and increased remittances by emigrants. In each case, it considers the feasibility of the proposal and the resources that it can realistically raise. In each case, it offers new perspectives and insights into these new and controversial proposals.

Download or read book The Making of Finance written by Isabelle Chambost and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-26 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a variety of theoretical frameworks drawn from the social sciences, the contributions in this edited collection offer a critical perspective on the dominant paradigms used in contemporary financial activities. Through a detailed study of the organisation and functioning of financial intermediaries and institutions, the contributors to this volume analyse ‘finance in the making’, by shedding light on the structuring of banking and financial systems, on their capacity to prescribe action and control, on their modes of regulation and, more generally, on the process of financialisation. Contributions presented in this volume have been written by authors working within the ‘social studies of finance’ tradition, a research programme that emerged twenty years ago, with the aim of addressing a diversity of financial fieldworks and related theoretical questions. This book, therefore, sheds light on different areas that are representative of contemporary financial realities. Specifically, it first studies the work of financial employees: traders, salespeople, investment managers, financial analysts, investment consultants, etc. but also provides an analysis of a range of financial instruments: financial schemes and contracts, financial derivatives, socially responsible investment funds, as well as market rules and regulations. Finally, it puts into perspective the organisations contributing to this financial reality: those developing and selling financial services (retail banks, brokerage houses, asset management firms, private equity firms, etc.), and also those contributing to the regulation of such activities (banking regulators, financial market authorities, credit rating agencies, the State, to name a few). Each text can be read without any specific knowledge of finance; the book is thus addressed to anyone willing to better understand the intricacies of contemporary financial realities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: B-, University of Bedfordshire, course: MBA, language: English, abstract: This theory into practice final project is written on the topic of 'Costs & Benefits for Raising Capital through Different Sources'. Major aim of this theory into practice report would be to let know readers about all of form funding sources (that would make possible for the companies in meeting their working capital needs). It has been understood that the method or process of acquiring capital through different sources is termed as Financing Decision. The Corporations are actively recruiting financial managers mainly for the successful execution of financial decision. Generally, there have been various sources of funds that could be utilised by companies for meeting their working capital needs. It has been observed that with the utilisation of funds from different sources not only made possible for the underlying firm to survive through difficult periods but would help it in expanding its operations as well. All of these sources are classified in to five main classes: Internal Financing, Security Financing, Lease Financing, Loan Financing and other sources. Internal financing intends on the approach of reinvesting of company's earning either for meeting working capital needs or for expanding company's operations. Security Financing is all about issuing of company's shares of different kinds. A company could source capital through loan financing which is determined as an agreement that it would repay principal amount it to the lender in a specified time along with monthly interest payments. Lease financing is actually an agreement between two parties under which one party is interested in using other party's asset for a specified period. Venture capital is considered as relatively new source of finance. From an investor point of view, it is most risky investment. In acco

Download or read book Financial Inclusion of the Marginalised written by Sharit K. Bhowmik and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-07-03 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the product of a study conducted by the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Ministry of Urban Housing and Poverty Alleviation (MoHUPA). Its objective is to highlight some of the problems faced by street vendors in conducting their daily business and to examine how financial institutions, especially those in the banking sector, can include street vendors in their credit policies. Data was collected from 15 cities across the country. Not surprisingly, while issues such as public space utilisation have been deliberated upon at length, those concerning the nature of credit transactions and concurrently the financial inclusion of street vendors have scarcely received focussed attention. In the absence of formal credit, street vendors largely depend on loan sharks, who charge high interest rates ranging from 350% to 800% per annum. The problem of formal credit aside, another equally important factor is the inflexible attitude of the civic authorities towards street vending. Given their informal status, this is particularly apparent because they are forced to conduct business in the absence of legal protection, making them vulnerable to rent seeking by the authorities. The acceptance of the National Policy for Urban Street Vendors by a few states and the subsequent bill to protect the livelihood of street vendors should help them gain legitimacy and subsequently credit to run their businesses at proper rates. The book examines and analyses these issues.
