About this title

Review:

"The Handbook of Financing Growth, Second Edition remains the most important book on financing to be published in far more than a decade. If there is a way to do a business finance deal, it is covered in this book. Not only does the book explain how to do most all types of financing, it tells you why some companies succeed while others fail. The book is a true reference book that you can turn to when you need an answer, or when you need inspiration."
--Marilyn J. Holt, Founder of Holt Capital,
