The major objectives of a short-term borrowing strategy:
- Ensuring that sufficient capacity exists to handle peak cash needs.
- Maintaining sufficient sources of credit to be able to fund ongoing cash needs.
- Ensuring that rates obtained are cost-effective and do not substantially exceed market averages.
Several addition factors to consider:
- Size and creditworthiness. In general, the larger (the borrower or the lender), the better terms.
- Legal and regulatory considerations. Regulated industries may impose borrowing restrictions, for example.
- Sufficient access. It's always good to have alternatives (lenders, rates etc), when it comes to borrowing.
- Flexibility of borrowing options. i.e. active maturity management.
There are active and passive borrowing strategies.

I was very pleased with your notes and question bank. I especially like the mock exams because it helped to pull everything together.
