Providing for Additional Capital
A business faces different cash flow and financing needs throughout its life. Some businesses will need financing at start-up, while others will need it later in life for continuance or expansion of operations and the realization of objectives. That financing may derive from the original owners, angel investors, banks or other third-party investors as debt or equity of the business.
