It is important for all organisations to understand and be able to navigate their way around the considerable range of funding options available to them to help grow, thrive or survive.
Briefly, these are as follows:-
● Grant - usually from the state and either non repayable or gifted on a match fund or condition basis
● Shareholder subscription or calls - payments from owners to the organisation
● Director's Loan - a loan from an owner or director to the company
● Bank finance - usually a bank loan which may be secured, unsecured or require personal guarantees
● Private equity - third party investment in the organisation in return for shares
● Mezzanine finance - various mixes of the above and others, sometimes combined within the same product
And not forgetting(!l)
● Profits - one of the best and most cost effective ways to fund the growth of any business!
