Question

External and internal sources of export finance

Answer 1

The term ‘External Source of Finance / Capital’ itself suggests the very nature of finance/ capital. External sources of finance are equity capital, preferred stock, debentures, term loans, venture capital, leasing, hire purchase, trade credit, bank overdraft, factoring etc. By external sources, we mean the capital arranged from outside the business, unlike retained earnings which are internally generated out of the activity of a business.
