ABSTRACT
This chapter describes the different needs in funding property and expenditure. It examines corporate funding and project funding and shows how infrastructure projects are funded. The chapter explains how regeneration projects are funded operate. Ways of raising funds is examined from the perspectives of the organisation and the project; essentially corporate funding and project funding respectively. For owner occupiers and investors, buying or creating a property involves an outlay of money which is regarded as “capital”. Resident owners and business owners aim to pay for these outlays from income, i.e salaries, business profits, rents or sources of income. In the public sector numerous private finance initiative property development projects, eg schools and university student accommodation, as well as projects for complete services, eg information technology, have been undertaken. The Financial Services Ombudsman provides an avenue for determining complaints not settled by direct recourse to the company giving rise to the complaint.
