What is the core characteristic distinguishing Venture Capital from traditional bank debt for a startup?
💡 Explanation:Venture Capital (VC) is a form of equity financing where the investor, a venture capitalist, receives an ownership stake (equity) in the company in return for the capital. This means the return for the VC depends on the company's growth and profitability (realized via an exit like an IPO or acquisition). Traditional bank debt is a loan that must be repaid with interest regardless of the business's success or failure, and it does not involve an ownership stake.

A company increases long-term Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) spending. What is the most likely financial effect?
💡 Explanation:High Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) spending, while reducing immediate cash flows (making option A and B incorrect in the short term), is strongly associated with long-term benefits. By establishing a positive reputation with stakeholders and the community, a company can reduce its risk of legal issues, boycotts, and regulatory fines. This reduction in non-financial/business risk translates into a lower overall risk profile, which in turn leads to a lower cost of capital (both equity and debt) and higher firm valuation in the long run.

This means the owner is personally responsible for all business debts and obligations, which is known as unlimited personal liability. If the business incurs debts, the owner's personal assets (like home or savings) are at risk.
