2.Define pros and cons of self-financing.
When planning for the financing of a new venture, the reality is that as much at 90% of all funding for start-ups comes from the entrepreneur, family and friends. However, many entrepreneurs seem to balk at the idea of relying too much on their own money. Beyond just the fact that for many new businesses this may be the only choice, there are clear advantages and disadvantages for the entrepreneur to rely on their own funding.
First the pros:
It is the easiest and quickest money to secure. Nobody has to be convinced and no approval process is required.
It eliminates the complexity of adding more partners or shareholders. Many experienced entrepreneurs will tell you that if they do another deal they will do a deal that they can create without partners. It seems at times that managing partners can be as much of a challenge as managing the actual business!
Only the entrepreneur's aspirations (стремление) need to be considered. For example, if the entrepreneur wants to keep the business small to fit her lifestyle, she can without anyone second guessing (хто б оцінював (judging) ) her.
All of the profits and wealth go to the entrepreneur. There is no dilution effect. With more partners the entrepreneur has to grow a business larger to meet his personal goals for income and wealth plus those of the other partners.
When the time comes to exit the venture, the process is relatively simple. There are not competing interests to negotiate.
There are also cons to self-financing:
Limited resources limits can limit the size and scope of the business at start-up.
Limited resources can also limit the growth of the venture into the future.
The entrepreneur is the only one at risk. If the venture fails, all of the consequences are the entrepreneur's to deal with.
The entrepreneur may not have all of the skills, knowledge and experience needed to successful launch and grow the venture.

According to modern finance, the three most important characteristics of an investment are its expected return, risk, and correlation with other investments. Indeed, in portfolio theory, these are the only investment characteristics that manner.
Expected return. Estimation of the value of an investment, including the change in price and any payments ordividends, calculated from a probability distribution curve of all possible rates of return. In general, if an asset is risky, the expected return will be the risk-free rate of return plus a certain risk premium. also called expected value.
Risk.
Smart investing includes risk management. For each stock, bond, mutual fund or other investment you purchase, there are three distinct risks you must guard (оберігатись) against; they are business risk, valuation risk, and force of sale risk.
Investment Risk #1: Business Risk
Business risk is, perhaps, the most familiar and easily understood. It is the potential for loss of value through competition, mismanagement, and financial insolvency. There are a number of industries that are predisposed to higher levels of business risk (think airlines, railroads, steel, etc).
