Source text - French Finance d'entreprise
La finance d'entreprise ou gestion financière, est le champ de la finance relatif aux décisions financières des entreprises. Son objet essentiel est l’analyse et la « maximisation de la valeur de la firme pour ses actionnaires envisagée sur une longue période ». En termes plus précis, l'enjeu consiste à optimiser la valeur de la séquence des profits monétaires futurs (relativement à un horizon de référence) sous la contrainte de la limitation des risques courus. Elle est, aux côtés de la finance publique et de la finance privée, l’un des trois grands domaines de la finance. Historiquement sa pratique est étroitement associée au recours au financement bancaire et de plus en plus à celui du financement de marché.
La pratique de la finance d’entreprise relève donc à la fois d'une vision externe à la firme (celles des prêteurs, des investisseurs ou des intermédiaires comme les banques d’investissement) et d'une vision interne à la firme (celle des dirigeants dont les décisions de gestion interne conditionnent sa valeur financière).
Les principales problématiques traitées dans le cadre de la finance d’entreprise sont :
1. la décision d'investissement, et particulièrement la façon d'évaluer la pertinence et le rendement prévisibles des décisions d’investissement ;
2. la décision de financement, c'est-à-dire l'optimisation de la structure financière des firmes et les voies d'amélioration des conditions de leur financement ;
3. la politique de rémunération des apporteurs de capitaux, soit concrètement et le plus souvent la conduite à tenir en matière de distribution des dividendes.
Translation - English Corporate Finance
Corporate finance, or financial management, is the field of finance relating to financial decisions of companies. Its main aim is the analysis and “maximisation of the company’s value for its shareholders over time”. More precisely, the challenge is to optimise the monetary value of future profits (relative to a reference timeframe) while limiting the risks incurred. Along with public finance and private finance, it is one of the three main areas of finance. Historically, its practice has been closely associated with securing bank financing and increasingly to that of market financing.
The practice of corporate finance therefore combines an external view of the company (that of its lenders, investors or intermediaries such as investment banks) with an internal view (that of the directors whose internal management decisions determine its financial value).
The main areas covered by corporate finance are:
1. Investment decisions, particularly how to assess the relevance and predicted return on investments;
2. Financing decisions, meaning the optimisation of the financial structure of companies and ways to improve their financing;
3. The remuneration policy regarding capital providers, specifically and most often the conduct to be adopted regarding the payment of dividends.
