A Business sometimes needs financing outside of what it can generate from daily cash flow. When this is the case, what choices do business owners have?

Not only are there a myriad of financial sources, there are almost as many different potential types of financing. Every business will have different requirements and needs. Business owners also have different levels of acceptable risk. While one owner may want to maintain control of the business without other shareholders, another owner may want equity investors because the cost of debt may be too expensive.

But there are other financing methods beyond a straight bank loan or sale of company shares. There are, to name just a few, securitized loans, account recievable financing, factoring, forfaits, letters of credit, equipment and inventory loans and bond financing. There are also, to name just a few, private placements, public placements, preferred stock finance structures, convertible securities and warrants and options. While some financing methods will be available to a particular business, other methods will not be available.

Financing the business can take an owner in many directions, requires detailed analysis and requires an understanding of the potential risks and rewards.
