Course overview

Building a successful company often means expanding. Your employees might seek a funding injection, invest, take the business to the next level, and watch the profits grow. If only it were that simple! Any kind of borrowing comes with risk. Choosing the wrong type of funding, or not effectively balancing funding sources, can put the future of the company they work for on the line.

For people working in finance and management, making smart decisions on financial borrowing is vital. To do that, they need to know what kind of corporate financing is most appropriate. Being aware of the pros and cons of different funding options means they can help to minimize risk. And being able to optimize the balance of their funding sources can help to keep costs low and even increase the value of the company they work for.
