QUESTION: Differentiate between Financial risk and Business Risk?

Answer:

BUSINESS RISK: Business risk is also known as operating risk. It implies uncertainty in profits or danger of loss leading to shut down of that business. These risks may arise due to future uncertainties. Example:

  • Change in demand due to changes in tastes.
  • Changes in the preferences of consumers.
  • Strikes and lockouts.
  • Changes in government policy.
  • Changes in technological factors etc.

FINANCIAL RISK: this risk is associated with the capital structure of the company. A company with no debt financing has no financial risk. The extent of financial risk depends upon the leverage of firm’s capital structure.
