    The document discusses various financial terms related to raising finance. It notes that human capital in the form of a country's workforce skills and innovation is often its most valuable asset. Angel investors provide funding to businesses but expect a high percentage of ownership in return to compensate for the risk. The number of UK companies entering insolvency hit a five-year peak, suggesting economic or financial troubles can lead businesses to insolvency. When an account is in the red, a bank may offer an overdraft facility, but investing in property often requires taking out a loan with a high interest rate that carries risk of default if the monthly repayments become unaffordable.
