Funding is a key issue for all third sector bodies. We work with third sector clients to ensure that the method of financing undertaken is:

• effective
• timely
• undertaken within the regulatory and legal framework
• managed in terms of risk and that risks are understood by those responsible

The range of funding possibilities is considerable and we will work with you and your other advisers to ensure that all avenues are explored. Examples of the types of financing with which we have been involved include:

• Bequests and legacies (see our legacy administration and litigation sections).
• Grants and other public funding.
• Fundraising in the traditional manner but including wider methods of fundraising such as corporate sponsorship.
• Trading activities including e-commerce.
• Commercial loans.
• Security issues.
• Brand licensing (see our section on maximising your assets).

We draw upon our commercial expertise to ensure that financing terms are no more onerous than would be available commercially.
