Which financing options are available to a Partnership?

• A. Owners or a small loan
• B. Issuing shares
• C. Public bonds
• D. Grants

Answer: (A)

Financing for a partnership mainly comes from two sources: what the owners contribute and borrowing. A partnership doesn’t have share capital, so it can’t issue shares. Public bonds are issued by corporations or governments, not by partnerships, because bonds require a separate legal entity with access to public debt markets. Grants can exist but are not a primary, reliable funding method for a typical partnership. So the practical option is funds provided by the owners and a small loan from a lender.
