finance
An entity involved in supplying, directing, or managing money, capital, or financial instruments.
A finance company is any entity involved in the supply, direction, or management of capital, money, derivatives, and other financial instruments.
A financing provider supplies a loan, while a financial consultant advises on financial decisions. Both belong to this field despite taking different roles in a project.
The relationship to an object determines the applicable role. A bank providing a construction loan has a financial involvement separate from operating a customer branch in the same building.
