INTRODUCTION
The question of financing is an essential one for any company. The aim is to ensure that assets and liabilities are properly matched, and to provide stable resources at the lowest possible cost. New investments, business development, currency fluctuations and economic difficulties are all opportunities to set up or adapt financing. Financing an investment will require long-term resources, and this decision will condition the life of the company for many years to come. Financing the operating cycle, or a temporary cash-flow shortfall, will require appropriate solutions.
After identifying the wide variety of needs associated with the company's tools and operating cycle, we'll look at the sources of financing available: equity capital and funds borrowed on the markets and from banks.
Drawing up a financing plan will enable the company to measure its borrowing capacity. This is directly linked to the amount of cash flow the company will be able to generate.
Finally, in the face of the many risks we identify, the question of insurance contracts will be raised, in terms of "emergency financing". Here too, the aim is to ensure the independence and even, in some cases, the survival of the company.
