Abstract
As in any business, capital financing in the health care field, is very important. Without proper financial planning, budgeting and working capital, a company is headed for financial ruin. This paper shows that obtaining capital can be done in various ways and should be well planned and executed. If properly planned, a business has a good chance of survival. Without planning, bankruptcy could be the result.
From the Paper
"St. Vincent's Catholic Medical Centers, a New York healthcare provider, announced that it would file Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after losing its working capital loan. St. Vincent's defaulted on $30 million of its pre-petition loan committed by HFG (Healthcare Finance Group), which had agreed to provide a total of $100 million, in DIP (Debtor-in-Possession) financing. DIP financing is used in bankruptcy so that while the bankruptcy is being processed the business will have working capital for the duration. In many cases, DIP financing is considered attractive because it is done only under order of the Bankruptcy Court and allows the company to execute a Plan of Reorganization (POR)."

"The financing of hospital construction projects has become an important public health issue in the past several decades. As the population has burgeoned through an influx of immigrants and a newly-expanding birth rate, and as the large "baby boom" population moves through middle age into retirement years, the demand for services that hospitals provide has grown. Concurrently, the sources of financing for hospital construction have shifted from public and philanthropic contributions to incursion of long-term debt (Washington State Department of Health, n.d.)."

Abstract
This paper discusses that professional venture capital firms are closely held corporations or private partnerships funded by public and private pension funds, endowment funds, corporations, wealthy individuals and foreign investors; they invest venture capital in both start-ups and established companies, thereby, leveling out their risks and ensuring a net positive return. The author points out an attractive feature of VC is that it provides the opportunity for investors to aim for very high returns, which no other financial instrument can provide. The paper relates that, while the debate continues as to whether VC really is the driver for industrial development, it is widely accepted that VC is a key tool in furthering three major economic objectives, namely, transfer, widen industrial base, and assistance in setting up of new businesses.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"As the firm expands, it may need more capital, which is provided by second round finance. When the firm reaches breakeven point or has already started making small profits, it will need funding for expansion of the business. This critical requirement in met by expansion capital, which drives the firm to maximize profits. Management buy out is the finance granted to the firm's management and investors to acquire an existing product line or business. As opposed to this is the Management buy-ins where funds are provided to managers outside the firm to buy into the firm with the support of venture capital investors. Finally, mezzanine financing is supplied to the firm to enable it to complete a trade sale or go in for public floatation of the firm's shares."

"Equity financing is the act of raising money for company activities by selling common or preferred stock to individual or institutional investors. In return for the money paid, shareholders receive ownership interests in the corporation. Equity (or common stock) offers residual claims. On a balance sheet, equity equals total assets less all liabilities. Equity financing is generally recommended for a business that's experiencing very high growth with high investment risk. The major sources of equity financing include individuals starting the business, friends and family, angel investors, venture capitalists, and public equity markets. Equity can take several forms including preferred stock, common stock, limited partnership interest, and project equity."

V. Conclusion
From the Paper
"The main benefits of micro-credit appear to be reduced vulnerability of the poor to adverse circumstances, increased consumption in the same group, and empowerment of women. The major spin-off of the micro-credit movement at the grassroots level has been the fact that women have used this system to come out and join a mainstream activity in the village. In many areas, particularly where there has been support from NGOs or strong SHGs, women have gained a voice and been able to use this space to come out of their traditional roles into a more 'proactive' male space."

Abstract
This is a short paper regarding the association of future trends in hospital financing and the accompanying changes and requirements that would be placed on an in-hospital pharmacy. The paper discusses various trends, such as closing or merging for those in capital poor situations; increased collections, greater use of technology and specializing were trends for those in capital rich situations. The paper examines the necessary pharmaceutical recommendations in response to these changes.
From the Paper
"Future trends in hospital financing are either exciting or dismal, depending on what the hospital's current bond rating is ("How are Hospitals," 2004). If it is secure, the future is bright, as that hospital belongs to the group of hospitals considered "the haves." For the haves, money is not an issue and capital is readily available. For the "have nots" operating capital is scarce if it is there at all, the hospital is in jeopardy of closing its doors, and financing options are virtually non-existent ("How are Hospitals Financing, 2004). A reported "47% of hospital CFOs say they can't keep up with the basic need for capital improvements" (How are Hospitals, 2004)."

Abstract
This paper explains campaign financing and the federal and state levels of campaigning funds. The paper discusses the finance reform laws that prohibit "soft money" and place restrictions on contributions. The paper relates that if the current trend continues, eventually congressional financing will be so regulated that even an ordinary citizen will be able to run for a seat in congress.
From the Paper
"It is said "Campaign financing in Congress has become so scandalous that is gives the wealthy in Congress inordinate influence, while ordinary citizens are virtually excluded from a meaningful role." It is true that Congress relies heavily on finances in order to maintain/achieve incumbency, however there are many financial restriction regarding campaign finances. Finance reform laws now prohibit the use of "soft money" (money obtain outside the restrictions of federal law). This soft money restriction came about with the passage of the Shay's- Meehan Campaign Finance Reform Law. However, there are restrictions on individual contributions, as established in the out come of the Buckley v. Valeo case. These restrictions have limited the effect of campaign spending on voters, and created little negative impact (aside from a lack of money) on the Congress as a whole."

Abstract
This work is a detailed analysis of the automobile financing schemes for Chrysler. It lists all the various controlled and uncontrolled variables as well as explains the demands for automobile financing. Among those are prices and special deals, money spent on advertising, average income of consumers, consumer taste and the expectation of services at Chrysler Financial.
From the Paper
"With the slowing of the economy, Chrysler is forced to give incentives such as special interest rates, factory rebates, and free equipment group upgrades to maintain sales levels that stay competitive. During the time of economic slowdown, there is less money flowing in and out of consumer's hands, which means fewer business transactions taking place. This has an impact of all aspects of the economy, including car sales. In order to entice people to purchase cars during periods such as these, it is necessary to offer lowered rates and added incentives to interest the would-be buyer. This buyer power gives the consumer a financial advantage, thus leading to more demand for vehicles."

Post-High School Education Financing, 2005.
This paper discusses problems of financing post-high school education especially for students from lower economic strata.

Abstract
This paper explains that, in looking at a cross section of any campus whether it is a university, college (private), junior college or a two-year trade school, most students in the lower end of the economic strata and require extremely tight budgeting to finance their education. The author points out that, despite the vast amounts of grant monies, scholarships, student-loans available and other sources of income, education financing is becoming an even greater problem because most of institutions are being forced to raise costs to the student body because of their own budgetary shortfalls. The paper stresses that the student loan programs at first glance appear to be a relief for the tightly budgeted student; however, there are some pitfalls to these programs that can do more harms than good for the over extended student.

From the Paper
"The problem as found by the Inspector General of the GSA was that the requirements for proofs by the Education Department were nearly non-existent. For example, in many cases there was no death certificate at all, in its place the Education Department accepted newspaper obituary notices, mostly forged was all that was required. Where permanent disability claims were concerned Social Security records proved that over 35,000 were quite able bodied and working making enough money to easily repay their indebtedness."

Campaign Financing, 2004.
A discussion about political campaign financing.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the goings on during fund raising for electoral campaigns. The paper presents a somewhat cynical viewpoint on the practice of contributions, specifically soft money contributions. The paper explains that seemingly no one gives without getting something in return. The ethics of campaign financing are explored in the paper. The paper also addresses the recurring question of whether there should be a limit on campaign spending.
From the Paper
" A cynic once said that the Federal Election Commission should hire Procter & Gamble to run the elections, since they have become a marketing, rather than a political affair. Just like P & G spends millions of dollars to advertise everything from Ivory Soap to Pampers, from Tide to Crest Toothpaste urging consumers to buy their products because they are "better", so the political parties, and the backers of various candidates for office, are marketing their "men" (well, a few women just to keep up the pretense that politics is an equal opportunity employer).
For the upcoming Presidential election, George W. Bush, the '90s answer to Dan Quayle, has raised nearly $70 million, based on his name and family connections; the money coming primarily from Clinton-haters and those tycoons who feel that Republican tax reform will benefit them the most. No wonder that some potential candidates, including Elizabeth Dole and Lamar Alexander, have dropped out: they could not keep up with the maddening pace of contributions to the "Son Who Would Be President"."

Financing an Independent Film, 2005.
Examines the legal aspects of getting financing for an independent film.

Abstract
This paper looks at sources of money for financing a film. It touches on pre-sale agreements, independent film distributors and investors. The paper examines SEC Regulations, non-profit organizations and personal debt. Taxation is also discussed.
From the Paper
"Studio filmmaking is an insider's game, and not many independent filmmakers can play, or they choose not to play. Studios are in the business of producing hits. The filmmaker loses a lot of creative control in this method. That's why these alternative methods of raising funds are needed. As difficult and complex as they may seem, they have worked to produce funds for many filmmakers, and allowed them to keep most of the creative control."

Hezbollah Financing, 2007.
This paper explores how the diamond trade in West Africa is used for Hezbollah financing.
3,382 words (approx. 13.5 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 96.95

Abstract
In this article, the writer maintains that one of the most difficult issues involved with prosecuting the ongoing war on global terrorism has been identifying and eliminating the funding sources for terrorist groups. The paper then attempts to determine how the diamond trade in the nations of West Africa is being used to help finance terrorist organizations in general and Hezbollah in particular. The writer points out that while the diamond trade in West Africa has been legitimized and careful controls implemented over the years, analysts believe that as much as 20 percent of the world's diamond supply continues to be of an illicit nature. Furthermore, the writer notes that analysts also believe that some terrorist groups, including Hezbollah, are receiving at least some of their funding through the illicit trading in diamonds among the nations of West Africa, particularly Sierra Leone.

"An international certification process for rough diamonds, known as the Kimberley Process, was initiated by the Government of South Africa in May 2000; since that time, there has been more and more participation among the regional stakeholders and to date, more than 35 nations have been meeting on a regular basis to develop the system, which was established in 2003. In Sierra Leone, the diamond certification system was instituted in October 2000, four months after the UN Security Council passed a resolution that banned diamond exports until a certification system was established; during the year that followed after the system was introduced, legal exports increased from $1.3 million to $25.9 million worth of diamonds; nevertheless, authorities continue to believe that many of the better quality diamonds are still being smuggled and are not going through the official certification system."
