    Ans.     Business is concerned with production and distribution of goods and services for the satisfaction of need of society. A business cannot function unless adequate funds are made available to it. The need of fund arises from the stage when an entrepreneur makes a decision to start a business. Some funds are needed immediately. The financial need of a business can be categorized in the following ways:
    (a) Fixed Capital Requirements: In order to start business, funds are required to purchase fixed assets like land and building, plant and machinery, and furniture and fixtures. This is known as fixed capital requirement of an enterprise.
    (b) Working Capital Requirements: The financial requirements of an enterprise do not end with the procurement of fixed assets. No matter how small or large business, it need funds for its day-to-day operations. This is known as working capital of an enterprise which is used for holding current assets like stock, bill receivable, current expenses etc.
