Description

Excerpt from Business Finance: A Practical Study of Financial Management in Private Business Concerns This book, as its name indicates, is concerned with the every-day financial problems of the private business concern. The point of view taken throughout is that of an organizer or financial manager of an enterprise. While the book deals primarily with business conditions and financial practice in the United States, it includes many references also to the experience and practice of other countries which may yield suggestions of value to American business men. Many social and economic questions are necessarily touched upon incidentally. These questions, however, in the author's judgment, belong to a separate field of study; no attempt is made, therefore, to discuss them at any length. The subject matter of the book falls naturally into five distinct parts: Part I begins with a brief exposition of the essential principles of all sound financing; it is devoted for the most part to a description of the different forms of financial organization of business enterprises, taking up in turn the individual proprietorship, the firm or partnership, and the corporation. Part II discusses the various forms of security issues and the manner in which they may be combined and organized as determined by the basis of capitalization of the particular enterprise. Part III treats of the methods of raising capital through the sale of securities and the usual forms of promotion and underwriting.
