- Refers to the spending on a firm’s capital assets & the long term-investment a business has in
these assets

Revenue expenditure
- Refers to the spending on a firm’s general operational costs (operational costs include both
variable and fixed costs)
- It is funded using short term or long term sources of finance
- It is the cost a firm has to pay on a daily/weekly/monthly basis in order to stay in business
- If a firm cannot pay revenue expenditure, it will go out and business rapidly (insolvency), where
employees will refuse to work & utility companies may shut off supplies

Examples
➔ Paying wages & salaries to workers, suppliers, utility bills, tax bills & repayments of debts
(mortgages & loans)

Internal Sources of Finance

,Personal Funds/Owner’s Equity
- Money invested by the owner(s) of a business
- Equity finance
- It may be short/medium or long term loan
- May cause loss on any potential interest on savings &
savings in general
- Very risky investment - owners at risk for losing own
funds if company goes bankrupt

Used by:
- Sole traders or partnerships/companies with little
experience when personal funds are only available finances
- To start up a business
- Owners of larger companies in times of a crisis

Retained Profit
- Essentially the company’s savings & the money it has leftover after paying all expenses, costs,
dividends and taxes at the end of each trading year
- Equity finance & primary source of finance
- Retained profits do not have to be repaid - not stuck in debt
- May take many years before funds are in place - potential lost sales while waiting for retained
profits to be of sufficient size & loss of dividends

Used by:
- When a business wants to invest a new capital project (new building) - may choose to save up
retained profits to pay for project
- Primary source of finance for most companies


Sale of assets
- When a corporation is in need of some cash, it may choose to sell one of its fixed assets.
- Raises massive amounts of money which can be reinvested into new projects
- Loan length depends on asset size
- It is unlikely that money raised from sales of assets will be sufficient enough alone, therefore
additional finance sources are needed

Used by:
- When a company changes objectives & needs funds to invest in a new strategy
- When a company wants to update technology




External Sources of Finance

, Equity Finance
- When investors offer equity finance, in return they demand ownership of a part of the company


Advantages Disadvantages

Does not have to be repaid unless owner leaves business Lower profits and lower returns for owner of business
(no interest - cheaper than other payment sources)

Investors who contribute equity have control over finance Expectation that an owner has to return the investments
in a business to shareholders (dividends)

Less risk for business & owner Loss of control/ownership of business

Low ‘gearing’ (uses resources of owner and no external
sources of finance)


Share Capital
- Money/capital raised through the issue of shares, by selling shares to new investors on the stock
market
- Equity finance
- It is a long term loan
- Suitable for companies & corporations, to raise vast amounts of money
