Capital participation
Form of equity sharing
Capital participation (sometimes also called equity participation[1] or equity interest[2]) is a form of equity sharing not restricted to housing, in which a company, infrastructure, property or business is shared between different parties.[3][4] Shareholders invest in a business for profit maximization and cost savings, e.g., through tax deduction. A visible and controversial form of capital participation can be found in public–private partnerships in which the private sector invests in public projects and usually receive a time-limited concession for ownership or operation to make profits from the acquired property.
