What is Finance?
To understand what Finance is, we need to be aware of the four types of people that exist in our economy
The economy is composed of four types of people:
1.People with no extra money and no ideas.
2.People with extra money but no ideas (or no time to implement any ideas)
3.People with ideas but not enough money.
4.People with both ideas and extra money.

What is Finance? (continued)
• Type 1 tends to be caught with 9 to 5 jobs and are living from paycheck to paycheck. However, some of them would be interested in jumping on new opportunities if they only had the time do so.
• Type 2 people are usually called "investors", these investors could be wealthy individuals, but usually they are venture capitalist, insurance companies or larger corporations who are looking for new ideas to finance and profit out of.

• Type 3 are the type of people who have ideas but they do not have the means or the resources to implement such ideas. These Type 3 people go to Type 2 people to pitch their ideas, or the Type 2 go to Type 3 to buy their idea. However, usually large corporations hire investment seekers who are Research & Development officers (R&D) to research for new or existing opportunities. This is an interesting way of getting funded and staying away from bank loans. Usually private placements work best for these types of transactions.
• There is not much to say about Type 4 people, because they are just too interesting to talk about.

Investments
Investors have to decide which company or companies to invest in, what form that investment will take and in what manner they wish to be repaid. Looking at these decisions from this perspective is called the study of investments.

Companies face decisions concerning how to raise capital, what projects to invest in, and how to go about paying investors back. Looking at these decisions from their perspective is called Corporate Finance or “Financial Management”. Companies hire corporate finance officers or Investment Banking firm to consult them in these decisions.

This is another perspective, where as we stated earlier, the companies outsource this role to Financial Institutions (Investment Banking firms) which exist for the sole purpose of facilitating this flow of funds between investors and the companies.

So, Why Is This So Complicated
The story underlying the system of cash flows is a little more complicated than we’ve made it sound so far. In particular investors know exactly how much they’re going to pay for a stock or a bond in a company, but they don’t know how much they’re going to get back or when they will receive it.

Why is Corporate Finance important?
• In the financial markets where financial assets trade, “what you get is (on average, and taking compensation for risk into account) exactly equal to what you paid for it”.
• The reason Corporate Finance important is because the area of corporate finance deals with nonfinancial assets, assets that trade in physical markets and that have properties of uniqueness that result in potential monopoly power. The goal in corporate finance is not to break even, but to ensure that “what you get is (on average, and taking compensation for risk into account) equal to MOE THAN what you paid for it.”
