Important concepts
Business Finance is about raising funds and allocating them under risk. Capital budgeting compares long-term projects using cash flows and decision criteria such as net present value; cost of capital links financing sources to the return investors require. Capital structure, leverage and dividend policy concern how a firm finances itself and distributes earnings. Working-capital management focuses on the operating cycle—cash, inventory and receivables—so liquidity is balanced against returns. Portfolio and derivative questions add risk-return trade-offs, while international finance introduces currency exposure and cross-border funding.
