Given this trend, what types of arrangements are possible, and what makes them successful? In this white paper, we'll review the options, reveal sponsors' thoughts on engaging an FSP, share our strategies for a successful partnership and present a case study that illustrates how an FSP partnership can evolve over time and maximize returns.
