Sources of funds

From the above, it has been found that, both the partners will be investing 50,0000  each in order to on the business . The rest of $345000 is been arranged by the debt financing. Debt financing is one of the prominent ways of financing the business (Farrell,  2007). However, with large interest rates make it more riskier and dangerous. Apart from that, next options will be equity financing which has been which will not be easily available for the business because of new entrepreneur. It is less risky than the debt but company has to share with profit with the general share holders (Germain et al. 2008).
