The Different Types of Funding Options

Explanations of the different types of funding options are described here in this paper. Along with my personal preference for funding options I.E. the Stock Market and Investment Bankers.

Intro. To Business

Broadly investment bankers (investment banking firms) perform three functions, Investigation, Analysis and Research (Origination), Underwriting (Public Cash offerings) and Distribution. Most of time a single investor banker performs all functions, however some investment bankers are specialized in certain functional areas only.

Risk financing can be a gainful option, or a risky option.

My chosen method of funding would probably be the stock market, as shifty as that sounds. The risk involved is greater than other options, but the rewards for playing it right, can be out of sight and found a lot faster than other options available.
