About Financing and Feasibility

GoConqr Original

What this page covers

The resources here follow two linked questions: how does a new venture pay for itself, and is the idea worth backing? On the funding side, the mind map on financing the new venture sets out sources of finance against business development phases, from personal funds and family and friends onwards. Other maps look at startup funding, venture capital criteria, angel investors and the pitch. Several maps and a flashcard deck cover crowdfunding.

Feasibility and viability

For the feasibility side, the mind map Viability and Funding Options sits alongside maps on project evaluation, pre-application screening and the identification and selection of projects. The map on a feasibility study for a marine electronics company in Vietnam shows how a real venture sets objectives, such as expanding the business and determining profitability. The Investment Project map explains a plan as a document that helps you decide whether to go ahead with a venture.

Where to start

  1. Open the mind map on financing the new venture for an overview of sources and phases.
  2. Move to Startup Investment and the maps on funding for the pitch and investor expectations.
  3. Read the flashcard deck Chapter 8, which asks what viability relies on, including profitability, liquidity and the debt to equity ratio.
  4. Use the flashcards on Chapter 5 financing for startup costs, payback and return on investment.

Using quizzes and maps together

Quizzes come after the maps. One quiz asks about variable expenses and what an operating business needs in order to make a profit. Another asks which financing a firm in its early stages is likely to tap into, what angel investors are and why a business plan needs a financial plan. Note which questions you miss, then go back to the matching map and read that branch again. Retake the quiz later to see what has stuck.

For something different, Small loan to Begum follows one microloan through a village market, showing how a small amount of finance passes along a chain of traders.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the mind map on financing the new venture. It lays out the sources of finance next to the phases of business development, so the later maps on investors, crowdfunding and viability are easier to place. After that, try one of the quizzes to see which ideas you remember and which need another look.

What do the mind maps on this page cover?

There are over 30 of them. They cover sources of finance, personal funds, angel investors, venture capital criteria, the pitch, crowdfunding and fundraising ideas. Others deal with viability, project evaluation, pre-application screening and feasibility, including a study for a marine electronics company in Vietnam and a small microloan example.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. If you want to save quiz scores or make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes, you can add a free account.

Who is this page for?

It suits university students, who make up most of the resources, school students meeting business finance for the first time, and teachers looking for ready-made material. Students can use the quizzes and flashcards to practise key terms such as variable expenses, payback, return on investment and viability.

Which flashcards are available?

There are over 5 flashcard decks on this page. They include Chapter 8 on viability, a deck on Chapter 5 financing covering startup costs, cash reserves, payback and return on investment, a deck on profit and harvest, and one on sources of finance and business plans.

What if I can't find the topic I need?

Try a nearby map first. Funding, crowdfunding, viability and project evaluation each have several, and they often overlap. Because the resources were made by GoConqr users, you can also build your own mind map or flashcards for the missing topic and use them alongside what is here.
