Most of those questions can be answered by reading articles online and running some scenarios in a spreadsheet. if you want to get deeper into the financial side, I recommend the book Handbook of Financing Growth: Strategies, Capital Structure, and M&A Transactions. [1] It assumes some background in corporate finance, but it is a good primer on growth financing with a lot of good case studies from which you can develop some spreadsheet models.
