What is financing?
• The use of financing is vital in any economic system, as it allows companies to purchase
products out of their immediate reach.
• Financing is a way to leverage the time value of money (TVM) to put future expected
money flows to use for projects started today. Financing also takes advantage of the fact
that some individuals in an economy will have a surplus of money that they wish to put to
work to generate returns, while others demand money to undertake investment (also with
the hope of generating returns), creating a market for money.
There are two types of financing: equity financing and debt financing
• The main advantage of equity financing is that there is no obligation to repay the money
acquired through it. Equity financing places no additional financial burden on the
company, though the downside is quite large.
• Debt financing tends to be cheaper and comes with tax breaks. However, large debt
burdens can lead to default and credit risk.
• The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) gives a clear picture of a firm’s total cost
of financing.
There are two main types of financing available for companies: debt financing and equity
financing. Debt is a loan that must be paid back often with interest, but it is typically cheaper
than raising capital because of tax deduction considerations. Equity does not need to be paid
back, but it relinquishes ownership stakes to the shareholder. Both debt and equity have their
advantages and disadvantages.
TYPES OF FINANCING
Equity Financing
• Is another word for ownership in a company. For example, the owner of a grocery store
chain needs to grow operations. Instead of debt, the owner would like to sell a 10% stake
in the company for $100,000, valuing the firm at $1 million. Companies like to sell
equity because the investor bears all the risk; if the business fails, the investor gets
nothing.
Debt Financing
• Debt financing is essentially the act of raising capital by borrowing money from a lender
or a bank, to be repaid at a future date. In return for a loan, creditors are then owed
interest on the money borrowed. Lenders typically require monthly payments, on both
short- and long-term schedules.
