Finance is usually a barrier to business development. Corporate financing using strategies of Financial Participation (FP) can promote sustainable business development, especially business developments using local resources. This book examines business challenges in general and determines future objectives for business development as a result of efficient resource management through reduction of financial liability using FP. The aim of this book is to develop a strategy of FP that can be applicable for sustainable business development with the objective to provide guides on corporate financing that can be useful to environmentalists, businesses, developmental organisations, funding organisations, local governments, researchers, students and the community as a whole in developing sustainable business opportunities using local resources (from science to business innovation). An applicable example is presented for business development from a landfill gasification project for energy production in the city of Cottbus- Germany
