Finance for Non-financial Managers, published by McGraw-Hill, is the premier resource for learning the financial concepts behind successful corporate management. Written in simple, easy to understand language, Gene Siciliano explains the key elements of business finance. Covering all the bases from financial statements to operating ratios to debt and equity financing, Gene converts these "scary" issues into approachable topics. Steering clear of archaic terminology, unexplained buzzwords, and hard-to-follow charts, Gene uses real world examples and a friendly style that makes the reader feel empowered, capable of tackling any financial issue that rears its ugly head.
Here is an excerpt from chapter 11:
"Use short-term debt ONLY for short-term needs.
Business owners squeezed for cash to expand sometimes make a big mistake. Because they can often get short-term financing easier than long-term financing, they borrow short-term money, then renew or stretch out their repayment, using the money to satisfy long-term needs such as multi-year marketing programs, new product development and introduction, and so on. If the long-term plans take longer to bear fruit than they had expected, the businesses find themselves being strained for cash to repay short-term debt that can no longer be delayed, and the working capital of their companies can be badly damaged in the process.
The key: Use short-term debt for working capital requirements that will generate the funds to repay the loan in accordance with its terms. Use long-term debt to finance long lead-time projects for which the timing of a return is uncertain."
