If you don’t get far enough with internal financing options, external financing is an option.
The options for external financing essentially consist of extension of current account line, interim financing or agreement on additional long-term financing or deferral of receivables.
There are various forms of long-term financing that do not necessarily have to come from commercial banks. There is also the possibility of mezzanine financing, a third party participation in the company shares, a initial public offering or a waiver of receivables.
