It's Not Just A Matter Of Finance, It's Sharing Your Vision في سبيل الله الرحمن الرحيم It's a two way process when seeking finance for a new project or venture. The nature of the finance has to be competitive and supportive; typical debt structures are uncompetitive, require interest payments which in most cases begin immediately whether or not the project has begun to make a positive return and increase the financial risk of the project. Other types of finance such as rights issues come at the expense of current shareholders who may fnd their share of the returns diluted and their right to capital subordinated. Returns Based Finance is Value Driven Having a capital provider who is interested in your returns and not their interest rate can make all the difference. It allows investors to enter into various forms of partnerships at various stages in the development of the project. It could be that your management board or company has the expertise to manage a lucrative project but not the capital. It may be that you require partnering at the beginning of the project but will, as the project matures, like to increase your share in it by having the investor agree at the outset to sell back to you their share of the project at a pre-agreed price. Either structure and more is available through Islamic Finance. Gain the edge over your competitors - choose a financier who is as committed to your success as you are.

It's not just deliberate financial mismanagement that can lead to financial disaster - it's not knowing the underlying risk involved in particular strategies; financial or corporate. Two of the main differences between Islamic based finance and secular Western financing are risk aversion and lower levels of leverage.  There is a greater reliance on organic growth rather than highy leveraged takeovers.
