Property development finance – Finance designed to fund property development and so designed to help finance both site purchase and building costs.

Prospectus – A package of information prepared for provision to potentially interested investors in a flotation.

Prudence – The accounting concept of recognising losses as soon as they can be identified, but profits only once they have been earned.

Public limited company (PLC) – A company which meets certain statutory requirements such as the level of its issued share capital and which may therefore be entitled to sell shares to the public. Not all PLCs are however listed on a stock exchange.

Security (1) – A source through which a debt can be repaid if the borrower does not make repayments in the normal way, such as a charge over property or other assets.

Security (2) – A document acknowledging that the holder has certain rights (such as repayment of a debt from the issuer).

In the US can be extended to cover a share certificate.

Self certification – The process whereby a borrower confirms that they are able to make repayments on a loan rather than proving it by providing accounts.

Share capital – The capital contributed to a company by its shareholders.

Shareholders funds – The total book value of a company (the net assets on its balance sheet) which is owned by shareholders.

Small Firms Loan Guarantee – A scheme where the Government provides a partial guarantee to lenders for loans made to small businesses.

Sole trader – An individual in business in their own name.

Top up funding – Additional mezzanine or equity finance to cover the difference between total costs of a property development project and the sums available under normal property development finance.

Trade finance – Specialist funding of trading transactions such as importing goods for resale.

Transaction at an undervalue – Selling an asset at less than its fair value. In the event of an insolvency, a liquidator will review significant transactions preceding the insolvency and can act to set aside transactions at undervalue.

VC – Venture Capital or Venture Capitalist.

Veil of incorporation – The protection offered to shareholders by a company’s limited liability.

Vendor finance – See deferred consideration.

Venture capitalists (VC) – A firm set up to hold investors’ money and to invest it in high growth opportunities. Generally look to achieve a return of 30% per annum and hold investments for three to five years before selling. Generally tend not to be interested in deals below say, £0.5m investment.

Whitewash report or agreement – Accountant’s report used to enable a business’s assets to be used as security on which to raise money to buy it.

Work in progress – A contract which is not yet complete or goods which are in the process of manufacture but which are not yet finished.

Working capital – A business’s current assets less its current liabilities.

Working capital cycle – The concept that a business’s working capital turns over as it goes through its cycle of trade; suppliers providing goods which become stock and then debtors once sold, with the cash received from debtors then being used to pay suppliers.

We hope this short series has helped to de-mystify some of the jargon used in finance.

To step back and look at the tasks you do objectively seems like it would take more time than just doing it the way you have always done it. Think about what it would look like for your productivity if you set aside some time to look at your daily and weekly actions and planned out where you could amplify your efforts.
