Entrepreneurial Financial Management

Now in its sixth edition, this classic and comprehensive resource presents an applied, realistic view of entrepreneurial finance for today’s entrepreneurs. The book provides an integrated set of concepts and applications, drawing from entrepreneurship, finance, and accounting, that will prepare aspiring entrepreneurs for the world they will most likely face as they start their new businesses.

The contents are designed to follow the life cycle of a new business venture. Topics are presented in logical order, as entrepreneurs will likely face them, from business start-up through to growing the business. Each chapter includes discussion questions and opportunities for application. PowerPoint slides and problem solutions are available for instructors. A comprehensive financial spreadsheet template is also included with the text, which allows for the application of the concepts to actual businesses and is a valuable supplement to the process of developing a full business plan. This new edition includes new examples throughout, an expanded discussion of the role of entrepreneurial financial management in business modeling, and updated current practices in bootstrapping and sources of financing.

Entrepreneurial Financial Management will be a valuable resource for undergraduate and graduate students of entrepreneurship and budding entrepreneurs alike.
