External sources include

Debt factoring

Internal (personal) sources
Owners fund or own savings
Family and friends
Retained profits

Equity or share ownership
Share capital (PLC & LTD)

2. For each explain the advantages and disadvantages

3. You then need to explain if this source of finance is appropriate to the chosen business and if so what would / could it use it for?
