Finance Directors and CFOs have various options to fund their business using a variety of debt and equity funding routes. This course will explain how companies are financed and how the financing mix between debt and equity impacts a company’s profitability, cost of capital, and return generated for investors as well as the risk associated with the various funding routes. The analysis will cover the different financing requirements in the various stages of a company’s lifecycle as well as for different financing needs (long-term versus short-term financing) and discuss which types of funding will likely be available to a company in any of these phases. The course will also introduce key corporate finance theories applied to determine the optimal capital structure and funding mix. Key funding products will be discussed, including commercial paper, corporate bonds, term loans, revolving credit facilities, preference shares and common equity. Finally, the course will outline key conflicts of interest between different investor groups and ways to minimise and manage these. The learning will be supported by examples using a real company.
