A Programme by Top Professors of Cambridge

We live in a dynamic global economic environment that is rapidly evolving due to a range of complex and interconnected political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and legal factors.

Against this challenging backdrop, it is perhaps unsurprising that a large proportion of small firms do not survive beyond their first three years of operation. At each point of their lifecycle - from startup, survival and development, growth and maturity - businesses experience different financial needs and require appropriate funding sources. Uncertainty surrounding cash flow and future liquidity requirements, however, makes it challenging for businesses to identify the right funding providers.

The Entrepreneurial Finance course examines the key financial challenges faced by entrepreneurial ventures, ranging from seed and start-up capital, to the management of working capital, and the different possible options available to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) by financial institutions, in addition to private equity and venture capital.

You will learn about the micro, small, and medium-size enterprise sector and will identify providers of capital from a debt and equity perspective, determine the financial valuation of a small business, and understand the principles of financial management in a startup.

Upon gaining your certificate, you will have gained the knowledge and skillset to confidently discuss entrepreneurial finance with internal stakeholders and external funding providers.
