Resumo: | This dissertation has the purpose to introduce the concept of Revenue-based Financing to the academic literature and to assess its characteristics by studying the existent capital structure theories and comparing it with traditional financing options. This type of firm funding has been used in diverse industries but has not been widely available for use. In recent years there has been an increase in the firms providing this financing instrument. It is thus important to understand if this instrument is important to improve the access to financing and support the growth of certain firms. Existent literature and data have proved that it is not desirable for all firms to choose between equity and debt due to ownership and control issues or even due to different costs. Also in terms of access of financing, mainly for SMEs, revenue-based financing can be an instrument improving it by closing the gap between equity and debt financing enabling firms to take rapidly investment opportunities and bolster their growth. The real cases studied in this dissertation vary substantially in the terms agreed such as the collateral needed, the incidence of the costs of financing or other requirements made by the investors. Hence, it is very difficult to develop a unique framework for this type of financing, as each firm is a unique case. My research leads to the conclusion that Revenue-based financing should be used as a complementary tool and that, in fact, there is a need for this type of financing. |

Isto será feito através do estudo das teorias de estrutura de capital existentes e elaborando uma comparação com as opções de financiamento tradicionais. Este tipo de financiamento empresarial tem sido utilizado em diversas indústrias porém o seu uso não está disponível em muitos países. Nos últimos anos tem vindo a aumentar o número de empresas no mercado a fornecer este instrumento, tornando-se assim importante perceber se este instrumento é importante para melhorar o acesso das empresas a financiamento como também ajudar no seu crescimento. A literatura existente tem provado que não é ideal para todas as empresas escolher entre capital próprio ou dívida, devido a problemas com o controle ou posse da empresa. Em relação ao acesso a financiamento, principalmente para PMEs, o financiamento baseado em vendas pode ser um instrumento que melhora este acesso, reduzindo a lacuna entre financiamento através de divida e capitais próprios ajudando estas a aproveitar oportunidades de investimento instantaneamente. Os casos reais observados nesta dissertação variam consideravelmente nos termos acordados como: a necessidade de colateral, incidência dos custos do financiamento ou outras exigências feitas pelos investidores. Consequentemente, é bastante difícil desenvolver um único modelo para este tipo de financiamento porque cada empresa é um caso único. A minha investigação leva à conclusão que este tipo de financiamento deverá ser utilizado como um instrumento complementar e que há uma necessidade para este tipo de financiamento.Bonfim, Diana Carina Ribeiro GuimarãesVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaFélix, João Carlos Pinto Santos Pereira2016-09-14T09:32:40Z2016-07-2020162016-07-20T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/20645TID:201242524enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:26:31Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/20645Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:17:03.232983Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
