Types of financing (part 1)

There are two basic types of financing: debt financing and equity financing. Debt financing happens when business borrow money from a lender at a fixed or floating interest rate for a specified period of time. The most important characteristic is that debt financing is that doesn't give a lender part of ownership. Terms of the loan are dependent upon what the loan is being used for.

Loans are most common and popular sort of debt financing. Business usually borrows from commercial lenders like bank and they offer some collateral as a form of a security for a loan. Loans have fixed periods and they are pay in regular intervals with interest rate. They can be short term, medium and long term in duration depending on the needs of business. Short term loans are used for temporary and seasonal loans. The most common type of short term loan is line of credit, agreement between borrower and lender that establishes maximum amount that customer can borrow and use it whenever he needs it. Medium term loans are generally used for fixed assets, equipment, to provide working capital. They are called term loans or installment loans and they are often used to start small businesses. Long term loans are usually used in real estate financing because it is typically financed over a fairly long period of time, between 10 and 30 years.

Asset based lender provide financing for businesses including, loans for machinery and equipment, real estate etc. and factoring. The business has to ledge its assets in return. Factoring happens when a lender purchase your accounts receivable and gives you the money immediately so you don't have to wait your customer to pay for it, minus the factoring fee. Contrary to banks asset based lenders are not regulated and they can look beyond your balance sheet figures if they think your business has a good strategy and market potential. They will establish the limit on your loan based on your collateral and not your net worth.

Bonds are source of capital for well established companies that need capital for long term growth of their business. Such companies raise funds by selling bonds to different buyers. Bond is essentially a security that represents a loan. Bond holder is person or entity that has loaned money to the bond issuer. Bond holder receives annually interest rate on the bonds and bonds can be of different maturity (length of time before bond issuer pays bond holder).

OTC stocks more difficult to trade and deposit

Mina Mar Group helps micro-cap companies structure their growth. Micro-capitalized companies are those with less than $50,000,000 in equity, sometimes under $1,000,000. Restructuring involves raising money (both debt and stock), and planning how they will eventually harvest that wealth. If you’re a founder or investor, the secret to harvesting your equity is to possess assets with a developed market for their sale; up until recently, that market was the public market. Now, Over-The-Counter Securities (“OTC Securities”) don’t serve that purpose since, unless you’re a tech unicorn doing an IPO, there are essentially no ways to sell the shares you’ve invested in. OTC securities – how they were deposited five years ago. Brokerages all around the country have tightened compliance over the past five years to the point where no one may deposit share certificates into their brokerage accounts, even if they can prove that they paid for them.

All-cash, All-stock offer

An acquisition strategy known as an “all-cash, all-stock offer” requires the buyer to commit to purchasing all of the target company’s outstanding shares for a certain amount in cash. It is also characterized as buying all of a company’s outstanding shares from its shareholders in exchange for payment. All-cash, all-stock offers are typically taken into consideration as a strategy to complete an acquisition. This could be an excellent technique the acquiring corporation might use to make the transaction appear sweet and persuade shareholders who are on the fence to accept the sale by offering a premium above the cost at which the shares are now trading. So if it’s that case, if indeed the company was purchased at a premium, then shareholders of the target company could experience an increase in the value of their shares. Even when we talk about cash deals, a stock value for the target firm is discussed, and that value may be considerably higher than its current market price. Therefore,

Regulation A+ represents the lately enacted SEC rule that amends and expands the rarely utilized Regulation A offering exemption. Regulation A+ might be viewed as an alternative to a small registered IPO and also, as a substitute or addition to other securities offering procedures that are not subject to registration under the Securities Act. Although Regulation A+ is still quite new, it is swiftly establishing a name as the perfect spot for so many American businesses looking for capital. Reg A+, which is supported by the SEC, actually permits non-SEC reporting corporations to raise capital from public investors while also allowing (or even more motivating) the issuer to publicize their offering openly. The opportunity to publicly market to investors has benefited greatly for numerous corporations. This method is intended to reduce regulatory constraints by allowing companies who wouldn’t have contemplated pursuing total IPOs to get the type of financing necessary to fuel their g
