Firms need to raise capital (money) in order to be able to finance their investment in current and fixed assets.

We're going to start the fifth week of this course with a discussion on the different sources of capital and how entities raise capital to finance their investments. Please note that we have already touched on this topic during the introductory week of this course.

Your Task

1. Identify what options firms have to finance their investments.
2. Expand on both internal and external financing options. However, you should focus more on the external financing options.
