Entrepreneurial finance is the study of value and resource allocation , applied to new ventures. It is a field oriented to help entrepreneurs make investment and financing decisions, from startup to harvest. Richard Cantillon first defined entrepreneur in the 18th century as a person who is willing to help launch a new venture or enterprise and accept full responsibility for the outcome. In that process, financial decisions are unavoidable. Entrepreneurial finance is a discipline that studies ways to mobilize resources to take advantage of an opportunity identified by an entrepreneur. It is closely related to the fields of venture capital , private equity and innovation . Topics include pro forma financial statements, business valuation models, cash flow analysis, and raising capital from private investors, venture capitalists and banks. Entrepreneurial finance courses are offered in different universities, for example at Babson College and the Kellogg School of Management . Special centers to promote entrepreneurship within universities also cover finance topics, for example the Center for International Development at Harvard University , which works to generate shared and sustainable prosperity in developing economies ref Center for International Development at Harvard, http www.hks.harvard.edu centers cid programs entrepreneurial finance lab research initiative , 2011 ref References references Books Entrepreneurial Finance, Robert Rondstad 1988 , http www.amazon.com Entrepreneurial Finance Robert Ronstadt dp 0930204220 Entrepreneurial Finance, Richard L.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Transport finance is the subject that explores how transport networks are paid for. The timing of the money required to finance transport is a principal issue. Many projects are PAYGO pay as you go , that is infrastructure, which lasts many years, is expected to be paid out of ongoing cash flow. Other projects are financed with Bond finance bonds raised in capital market s. Bonds must be secured with an expected future cash flow. The cash flow, required for either pay as you go or for bonds, must be raised. Common sources are user fee s, such as gas tax es, and Toll road toll s. Other sources are revenue general revenue . This issue is related to who bears the burden users or the general public. Even if users bear the burden, that class must be subdivided, e.g. users during peak times or off peak, freight or passenger traffic, urban or rural users, residents or non residents many toll plazas are located on the state line to maximize revenue from non residents . A third issue concerns the full cost s of transportation. There are monetary costs, which are financed with money, as considered above, but there are also non monetary costs sometimes called hidden cost s , which are paid for by people s time, by clean air, by peace and quiet, etc. See the discussion of externalities for a fuller explication of non monetary costs.
