Required

Using an information document style of reporting you are to include the following:

1. A discussion of the growth of financial technology companies.
2. A critical appraisal of a range of appropriate finance methods for fintech start-ups considering capital structure.

An information document style of reporting considers stakeholder engagement; this format makes good use of colour and graphical organisers such as charts and diagrams to display information. This will allow you to demonstrate those higher order skills where you need to do something new and original with the material.
