THE CONCEPT OF FINANCE

Understanding finance and financial management for entrepreneurs, individuals as well as start-ups

Finance is the process of raising funds or capital for any kind of expenditure. Basically, the dictionary meaning of finance puts it down to a process of channelling various funds in the form of credit, loans, or invested capital to those entities who need them the most or can put them to the most productive use.

Confused? Well, let me explain. Finance, in business broadly refers to a form of applied economics that uses the quantitative data provided by accounting aka assimilating the statistics and theory in an effort to optimize the goals of any business or individual.

So, then the question arises what is Financial Management primarily? Why is it so important for us individuals? Why not only for businesses and entities?

Well, to again reiterate it in simple words and going by the definition, it is the function concerned with profitability, expenses, cash and credit so that the person or entity using it has the means to carry out their objective as satisfactorily as possible. Thus, in business terms, financial management refers to the practice of handling a company’s finances in a way that allows it to be successful and also comply with regulations. A proper plan, as well as execution of the same, helps to achieve this.

So, it is evident then that Financial Management as well as its knowledge is pivotal to establishing as well as growing and floating any business successfully. Not only is this knowledge important for individuals, and organizations but it is equally important for those startups and entrepreneurs, especially those who have forayed into the business recently and who need “all hands on deck” aka all possible data and information related to Financial Management. 

I always feel that there are so many variable concepts and key terms related to Financial Management that one has a lot of work cut out as far as learning the basics itself is concerned. Be it the basic ones such as profit-loss, break-even point, depreciation or more complex ones such as profitability ratios, liquidity ratios, Cash flow, fund flow, efficiency ratios, solvency ratios and so on, there are very few places where all of this has been collated out and that too in a reader-friendly manner.
