This course, BUSI 2501: Business Finance - offers an essential introduction to finance, equipping students with the knowledge and tools necessary for effective decision-making in both business and personal finance. It provides a foundation for advanced finance courses by covering key topics such as the time value of money, capital budgeting, and financial instruments. Students will explore how organizations raise capital, analyze investment opportunities, and make informed financial decisions. The course also emphasizes the relationship between risk and return and helps develop analytical skills for evaluating and solving financial problems.

Main topics to be covered include discounted cash flow valuation, interest rates and bond valuation, stock valuation, and capital structure. Students will learn to apply techniques like net present value (NPV) and other investment criteria, assess the cost of capital, and understand how firms structure their finances. Pre-requisites for this course are BUSI 1005, ECON 1001, and ECON 1002 (or ECOR 3800), and it is restricted to select Sprott programs. The course precludes additional credit for BUSI 2503, ensuring a distinct and comprehensive introduction to core financial concepts.
