Raising Capital: The Process, Players & Strategic Consideration
An organisation should know how to choose between debt and equity funding and when to consider
acquiring funds from capital markets. These external funding sources will have their own expectations for rates of return, and the cost of this funding is driven by external factors such as the state of the economy and the industry.
