Subject 5. Evaluating Short-Term Financing Choices PDF Download

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.
