The Three Steps of Financial Planning • 1) Establish organizational goals • What do I want • 2) Budget the money needed to accomplish these goals • What does it cost • 3) Identify the sources of those funds • How do I pay for it
Budgeting for financial needs (What does it cost) • Cash budget-(short term) • Traditional • Uses dollar amounts from preceding year • Promotes frenzy spending of surpluses at period end • Zero-based budgeting • Every expense in every budget must be justified each year • Capital budget-(long term) • Estimates a firm’s expenditures for major assets and its long-term financing needs
Identifying sources of funds (How do I pay for it) • Sales revenues • greatest part of financing; short term financing • Equity capital • Money from owners or sale of shares of ownership; long-term financing • Debt capital • Borrowed money obtained through loans • Proceeds from the sale of assets • older machinery, bond conversion
Short-Term Debt Financing • Short-term financing is usually easier to obtain than long-term • Shorter repayment period means less risk of nonpayment • Amounts of short-term loans are smaller than long-term loans
Sources of Unsecured Short-Term Debt Financing Unsecured financing - not backed by collateral • Trade credit • extended by a seller not requiring immediate payment at time of delivery • Promissory notes • A written pledge to pay money to a creditor at a specified future date - legal IOU • Unlike trade credit, promissory notes • usually include interest • Negotiable instruments
