The third topic is dedicated to financing a new business. This topic consists of two lessons, and we'll talk more about the Life Cycle of a Business, Sources of Debt Financing, and Sources of Equity Financing. An entrepreneur's dream or idea cannot be realized without some kind of cash flow into the business, because of that we are going to talk about different sources of financing.
The fourth topic is more dedicated to accounting methods and financial statements. Without accurate accounting, the company would not know where it is financially located, which would most likely result in its collapse. The financial statements provide a brief overview of the financial condition of the corporation. They provide all the information about the company's income, expenses, profitability, and debt.
The fifth topic is dedicated to Cash Flow. The growth of a business is directly related to the amount of money a particular company currently has. Without money, the company cannot grow in other markets, it cannot expand the range of products and services. Cash Flow is the one that shows us where the cash comes from, where it is going, and can we grow our business.
The sixth topic focuses on financial ratios. Ratios are an important assessment tool that business owners and managers can use to quickly assess an organization’s performance.
The last topic it’s about Cash and Non-Payment Methods. Cash is the most liquid of all company assets. This is what the company mainly uses to settle debts and acquire goods. By generating enough cash, a company can meet its daily business needs and avoid taking on debt.
In the next sections, each topic and its lessons will be described more in detail.
