Introduction & Overview

Quick Overview

This section discusses the various sources of finance for businesses, categorized into owned capital and borrowed capital.

Standard

The section outlines two main sources of finance: Owned Capital, which includes money from personal investments and retained earnings, and Borrowed Capital, which comes from external sources such as loans and debentures. Understanding these sources is crucial for effective financial management within businesses.

Sources of Finance

Understanding the sources of finance is essential for any business as it helps in determining how to fund operations and expansions. In this section, finance is split into two primary categories:

Owned Capital (Internal Sources)

  • Definition: This refers to the funds that the owner(s) of the business invest in the operations.
  • Key Components: It includes personal savings, retained earnings from profits, and funds raised from the sale of assets. This type of finance does not have to be paid back, thus is seen as less risky.

Borrowed Capital (External Sources)

  • Definition: This type of capital consists of funds that are borrowed from external sources with the commitment to pay back, usually with interest.
  • Key Components: It includes loans from banks, financial institutions, and the issuance of debentures. This is generally riskier than owned capital as it involves repayment obligations, potentially affecting cash flow.

In summary, the choice between these sources of finance depends on several factors including the costs, availability, and the financial strategy of the business.

Owned Capital (Internal Sources)

Unlock Audio Book

● Owned Capital (Internal Sources):
○ Money invested by the owner(s) of the business.
○ Includes personal savings, retained earnings, and sale of assets.

Detailed Explanation

Owned capital refers to the money that the owner(s) invest in their business. This type of capital provides the necessary funds without the obligation to repay, making it a more secure option for the business. Examples of owned capital include personal savings of the owner, profits that the business has retained instead of distributing as dividends (retained earnings), and funds raised by selling business assets that are no longer needed.

Examples & Analogies

Imagine a bakery owned by a passionate baker named Sarah. She decides to use her personal savings to buy an oven and ingredients. This investment represents owned capital because it's her money invested directly into the business, and she doesn't have to return it to anyone.

Borrowed Capital (External Sources)

● Borrowed Capital (External Sources):
○ Money borrowed from outside sources with the promise of repayment.
○ Includes loans from banks, financial institutions, and issuing debentures.

Detailed Explanation

Borrowed capital represents funds that are sourced from external parties with the responsibility to repay, typically with interest. This can come from financial institutions like banks, where businesses take loans to fund operations or investments. Another form of borrowed capital includes debentures, which are essentially loans that a company sells to the public, promising to pay back the principal amount along with interest after a set period.

Examples & Analogies

Think of a tech startup that wants to launch its product but lacks sufficient funds. The founder goes to a bank and takes out a loan. This loan represents borrowed capital, and just like borrowing money to buy a car, the startup must ensure it can repay the loan, including interest, once the product starts generating revenue.
