A new series of resources aimed at assisting teachers with the delivery of the Edexcel A Level Business specification. This resource specifically looks at topic 2.1.2. External Finance. This PowerPoint presentation looks at the concept of external sources of finance and considers both sources of finance and the methods of finance applicable to a business. Sources of finance include family and friends, banks, peer-to-peer funding, business angels, crowdfunding and other businesses. Methods of finance include loans, share capital, venture capital, overdrafts, grants, leasing, and trade credit. The slides contain several activities with suggested answers including the Quick Fire Five and a 10 mark practice question. The clear and well-presented nature of the slides are aimed at helping students to understand the topics with each topic analysed to provide a balanced assessment of the theory.
