Equity finance occurs when a business owner sells parts of their ownership to investors. In the long run, they lose parts of the business, but are not in debt. Hence, they will have a diluted business ownership.
They have no maturation date, and no interest charged on top of it.

External equity finance refers to selling shares. If you sell shares, you have to pay dividends as well as sharing leadership responsibilities as shareholders have a say in how the business is ran. Thus, the ownership becomes "diluted"; more people having a say, less authority from one individual.

thanks to both
i said c- but if i understand correctly from what you have said, it cant be that as they have less and less ownership in the business, thus it isn't fixed yeah?

Yep, as I said, it's talking about shares. The more shareholders you have, the more people you have to split the profits to. Therefore, the owners (shareholders) get varied profits depending on variables like how many shareholders there are, the percentage of the company they own, etc.

one for HR is: 25.9% of employees are part-time, a 5% increase with 2000

yep, as in some numbers or something to represent changes in australian workplaces- something that will support our cause in the report!!

yep. i always find myself just waffling on in intro's and realise at the end of the page that is it would give no marks! my teacher suggested that we include a statistic to back up our 'waffle'
since i asked that question - she sent me 2 links, that have a few statistics...

she also said to make sure they link to the question... so if the question is asking about a small business- talk about how 97% of australian businesses are small businesses, dont say (i made this one up) 24% of international retailers rely on word of mouth as their #1 promotional tool, coz that kinda fact would belong somewhere in the marketing sector
u get my point.

i think both those links have some great points which are fairly broad and could possibly link to more than one of the key business functions.

good luck peeps

this is v coincidental... my teacher also said we should have some!?!?
70 per cent of Australian workers believe flexible conditions would improve their work life balance... (according to heraldsun)....
flexible working conditions is a National Employment Standard (requests for flexible conditions)
dunno how relevant but ahwell!
