Corporate Finance Fundamentals Bootcamp

Course overview

Finance is a necessity for all corporate enterprises to exist and grow. It is required from the moment a business is founded. Finance is necessary for every daily, minor, or significant business operations, including turning a concept into a firm, launching a new product line, hiring staff, setting up an office, marketing the products, and many other tasks.

The need for money is something that every organization faces. Corporate finance develops as a result of this necessity. What should the ideal distribution of funds be? What ratio of fixed assets to current assets should there be? How should the viability of various investment opportunities be assessed? How will the business fund these purchases?

Corporate finance is concerned with overseeing an organization’s financial operations. Any corporation must decide on three key financial decisions: investments, financing, and dividends. These choices are then broken down into various parts. Corporate finance is the general word that encompasses all of these components.

In order to acquire these funds, what debt-to-equity ratio will be ideal? Which financing structure will work the best for the company? How can profitability and liquidity be adjusted as trade-offs?
