All the corporates in India are in constant need of funds for operating their businesses. Corporate finance is the area of finance that deals with raising the finances of companies and assists in capital creation and development of the corporation. Corporate finance manages financial decisions that affect operations like Capital Budgeting, Capital Raising, Investment Decisions, etc.
The finance of the company can be raised in two ways, i.e., Debt and Equity finance. Equity funding is generated by selling shares of the company and reinvesting the same amount.
