Applications of fund
- Purchase of fixed assets – leads to outflow of funds, but at the same time adding assets to your organization always improves the financial position of your firm. You can also use these assets as “collaterals” for availing loans in banks.

- Fund that is lost during business operations – Due to wrong investments and credit policies, sometimes your funds get sticky and recovery becomes next to impossible.
- Repayment of loans – although the fund goes out, you free yourself from further interest burden and reduce your credit limit with the bank. Remember,it is better to repay the loans from your profit.
- Redemption of debentures – It is easy to raise money from debentures, because people are rest assured of their payment at a fixed date. But the cost of servicing the debt might sometime exceed the concessional advantages on raising such securities.
