How should you scale? Most important: how do you pay for it? You have plenty of options. You can take out a small business loan, tap family and friends, crowdfund, add a partner, or pitch to a VC. That doesnāt even count bootstrapping or dipping into your assets or savings. Of course, the biggest question is how much money do you need to fulfill your ambitionsā¦and how much cash reserves should you hold for worse case scenarios? In this course, students will answer these questions. In particular, students will learn the best sources for securing funding based on their particular situations, along with loan terms and costs that can hamper them on. According to Potter, the course is designed to ātake the mystery out of financial analysis,ā along with providing tools to help students āvalue and evaluate ideas to determine the appropriate benefits and costs in order to screen them correctly,ā and learn how to value a business and the securities [they] can use to potentially fund your organization.ā Review:Ā No reviews.
