How it's used
Focuses specifically on the formal process of gathering financial resources, often used in business or organizational contexts. While it implies pooling money together, it carries a more professional tone than simply asking for money or borrowing. It is frequently seen in news reports regarding startups or large scale corporate expansion.
Examples
The company wants to raise capital for a new project.

Common mistake
Avoid using this for casual situations like asking friends to chip in for a meal, as it sounds overly formal and business oriented. For casual pooling of money, use 夾錢 instead.
