A company's ability to raise capital quickly and effectively is integral to its growth potential and financial well-being. This is true in both good and bad times And it applies to countries and individuals too. More so, this principle applies to individuals and nations at large.

Whatever the motivation for raising capital may be, access to new funds requires critical thinking.
