Course: Business Management (12052-36) > Section: Conducting Financial Activities

Exploration should include research and analysis of means of obtaining capital, such as

- owner capital (e.g., personal assets, stocks)
- borrowed capital (e.g., loans, bonds)
- retained earnings
- venture capital (i.e., uses investment funds)
- grants and government subsidies
- angel investors (i.e., uses the business owner’s network)
- bootstrapping (i.e., uses very little capital to fund a business and relies on the operating revenues of the new company).
