There are two main types of finance available to a business. The easiest to use is [ external finance / short term finance / long-term finance / internal finance ]. An example of this would be [ share capital / government grant /retained profit / bank overdraft / bank loan ].
Alternatively a business can use [ external / internal / short term / medium term ] sources of finance, such as [ the sale of assets / owners fund / retained profit / a bank loan ]. • If a business is providing jobs in an area of high unemployment they may be able to obtain [ bank loan / trade credit / a mortgage / a government grant ]. The sources of finance used can affect the costs of a business.
For example, if a business obtained computers by using [ trade credit / a lease / owners funds / retained profits ] then they would have to make regular payments. This would make them a [ running cost / start up cost ] rather than a [ running cost/ start up cost ]
