Figure out how much capital is need to finance ongoing operations and borrow at the best short-term rate possible.  It's possible to borrow at lower rates using some tricks, but you need to give more detail if you want a better answer.

I thought in my Finance class that we were told internal financing (Retained Earnings) is the cheapest form of financing!  You might want to do some more research.

That's kind of vague.  You could start evaluating how well a company is doing using financial ratios.  http://beginnersinvest.about.com/od/financialratio/\n\nActually finding the value of a company takes more work with one of the standard methods such as WACC or APV.

good idea , but be careful, 540 does not appear too good to go for financing others moreover you may not have proper appraisal techniques and real data about the entity who may  like to have your cash , you may lend into difficult situation , \n\nhowever ,for detailed examination you may discuss and disclose to your financial advisor or Bank in strictest confidentiality.

i would check with a brokerage firm rather than a bank. stock brokers would want to lock up the stock for sale when it is eligible and therefore would be better equipped to evaluate its worth.\n\ncall any of the major companies or discounters like Schwab and ask for the department that handles 144 stock.

None.  Use a debit card, save money, invest.

The answer to this question is highly dependent on a number of factors, including the company's industry, competitive position, strategy, operating budget, and the risk tolerances of its owners.  The appropriate debt to equity ratio and dividend payout rate depends will be influenced by:\n1.  Current assets and liabilities will determine the amount a short term debt financing is available from a bank on a revolving line of credit.  Excess availability may be needed to fund short term seasonal needs.\n2.  The amount and type of long-term assets will help determine the amount and type of term debt available.\n3.  The company's fixed charge ratio (commonly, EBITDA divided by the sum of maintenance capital expenditures, taxes, principal and interest on debt) should be maintained at a comfort level (depending on the type of business and industry, at least 1.2 and probably 1.5 - investment grade companies are well over 2.0)\n4.  Cash flow required to fund growth (working capital and growth capital expenditures) will reduce the amount available to pay dividends.  \n5.  Dividends should come out of cash flows needed to maintain and grow the business.
