The Corporate Finance Handbook

Corporate finance is central to almost every major decision a company takes and yet, due to its complexity, it is only vaguely understood by the majority of company directors and corporate decision-makers. This jargon-free handbook provides a practical guide to the intricacies of corporate finance in a form that is easily accessible to hard-pressed CEOs and their boardroom colleagues, and is particularly relevant to middle-market UK companies. It is then supported by a concise directory of corporate finance service suppliers. Now in its third edition, the book offers authoritative advice on financing issues related to growth and acquisition, debt restructuring, private and public equity, risk management, etc. It will give senior executives all they need to know both to manage their business finances creatively and to deal effectively with banks, investors, accountants, and professional advisers. A wide range of expert contributions includes advice on: financing growth; debt and structured finance; private equity markets; MBOs (and buy-ins); flotations; mergers and acquisitions; mangement issues in generating investment.
