Financing, an enterprise-whether large or small is a critical element for success in business. Financing is the use and manipulation of money. Raising money for a business is one aspect of financing. All new entrepreneurs most of the time face difficult problems to arrange start up finance. While finance is a life blood of the business and is needed throughout the life of business, 

The new entrepreneur faces significant difficulties in acquiring capital at start-up. 

1. The entrepreneur needs to consider all possible sources of capital and select the one that will provide the needed funds at minimal. 

2. Different sources of funds are used at various stages in the growth and development of the venture. 

3. If an entrepreneur cannot personally supply the necessary amount of money, another option is ‘OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY (OPM)’. It means before seeking outside financing; an entrepreneur should first explore all methods of internal financing and the other external financing and if it suits an entrepreneur he can go for financial institutions as a sources of financing. 

4. Institutional finance refers to institutional financing. 

5. Sources of finance to Industry, other than commercial banks.
