How to Finance a Company

How should companies raise money?
This lecture will look at both debt (bank loans and bonds) and equity (shares given to other founders, or sold on the stock market). It will analyse how a company should choose between debt and equity and explain how many factors that companies - and even highly-paid investment banks - focus on are actually irrelevant. It will explain how financial decisions, stock valuations, and risk change in the presence of debt.
