Depends. I'm a finance noob but I think there's a big difference from an accounting perspective to say "we have a big expense to pay for the next ~14 weeks" versus "we have a big yearly expense that will continue in perpetuity". I think this bookkeeping is especially important when looking for funding. Perhaps someone with more savvy and better articulation of the nuances can chime in here. (I'm interested myself on if I'm way off the mark here.)
