Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained

ICMA Centre Visiting Fellow Keith Arundale was recently published in the ICAEW’s Finance and Management Faculty’s report on “Growing your business”.

Keith’s article titled “Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained” details how venture capital can provide one of the most tried and tested means of securing funding for business development. Keith notes “Despite some rumours to the contrary, venture capital is alive and well in today’s financing climate.”

The “Growing your business” report is available from www.icaew.com

Infrastructure Funding, Finance and Institutional Investment - a new guide by Professor Brian Scott-Quinn

28 August 2015
Infrastructure is the new buzzword in finance these days even though infrastructure has been important at least since the days when the Romans built their roads across Britain and Europe. The difference today is that increasingly the government says it cannot finance such infrastructure - roads, railways, power generation, telecoms, airports etc. The telecoms industry is already completely privately owned in most countries as are an increasing number of airports across the world. But governments everywhere are now looking ever more to public private partnerships (PPPs) to provide the annual funding (the annual revenues required to service bank loan and bond interest payments and capital repayments and equity dividends) as well as the actual financing (the arranging of bank loans, bond issues and equity share issues) to provide the cash up-front.
