Everyone uses finance at some point in their lives when they need capital supplied by another. The term can also refer to another branch of the subject dealing with its management. Depending on your viewpoint, it can also be used to define the subject of managing the funds that the private and business sector uses. Large companies with even larger portfolios will employ a finance manager to help control their assets.
These managers arrange funds to be lent to individuals or business using their company's assets where possible and if not sourcing the money elsewhere. The function of the finance manager is to Optimize or enable the fund to be made available with as little cost to the company but provide for a profit to be made in this process. Poor finance is the cause of depressed markets caused when managers have not followed the optimization rule which leads to lower production and lower sales globally. This is why people who act as finance managers only have this type of work for a relatively short period because the potential risk to companies is high and so are the stress levels as a consequence.
A well know marketing and management guru Lee Iacocca said that finance managers always looked at the cost involved in a finance deal and not the future return. Unlike the sales managers who would like to invest in the future by product development, finance managers are rather skeptical of financing a project whose benefits lie in the future; even though their management governs future outcomes too. Some problems arise for the number of businesses that arrange loans and then use them for personal reasons, forgetting that this clearly defined barrier exists. Most lenders will cancel the loan if they feel they have been deceived this way because they are unsure what the money is to be invested in.
This may cause some concern amongst small business owners but they should train themselves to be more focused on their business which should in turn create a better frame of mind for the future. However, small businesses can finance their needs from other sources like friends or from banks and private lenders. Finance managers can help improve their company's profits by using external sources which also lessens the risk on them at the same time. Banks have always been known as institutions that prefer to lend money to those that least need it which is why if you are already wealthy and require a loan it is often arranged at a preferential rate of interest.
