CORPORATE FINANCE SERVICES
"Corporate finance is often linked with investment banking, where the goal is to raise capital for business growth or development. While corporate finance deals specifically with corporations, its principles apply broadly to financial management across all types of firms. Unlike financial accounting, which reports past financial data, corporate finance aims to optimize capital use to boost shareholder value."
CAPITAL RAISING
Capital raising definition refers to a process through which a company raises funds from external sources to achieve its strategic goals, such as investment in its own business development, or investment in other assets, for example, M&A, joint ventures, and strategic partnerships.
DEBT AND CAPITAL
Capital structure is the specific mix of debt and equity that a company uses to finance its operations and growth. Debt consists of borrowed money that must be repaid, often with interest, while equity represents ownership stakes in the company.
EQUITY CAPITAL
Corporations can raise capital by selling shares, with investors expecting the company's value to increase over time. Shareholder value rises when companies invest in projects with positive returns or pay out excess cash as dividends. Investors favor stocks of companies that consistently provide high returns and increase market value.
JOINT VENTURE
A joint venture is a combination of two or more parties that seek the development of a single enterprise or project for profit, sharing the risks associated with its development. The parties to the joint venture must be at least a combination of two natural persons or entities.
