Financing
If someone wants to “secure financing” for something, it means they’re looking for money to help them do something.
Whether it’s investing in capital for a business, investing as a third party (to make more money for themselves later), or making some wild art project (maybe an investment, maybe not), financing helps people achieve their goals (which is usually making more money with that money, but not always).
Your most basic type of financing is a straight-up liquid cash loan. For businesses, debt financing and equity financing are pretty commonplace. Mortgages and others types of debt are also types of financing (ever heard of refinancing?). As the financial sector continues to expand and evolve, we’ve got blockchain and cryptocurrency financing on the table now. Don’t blink...you might miss one of these awesome-ish opportunities.
Got all this? Good. Now...see: Investment Banker. Financing is what they do for a living.
