Long-tenor funding for things that take years to build.

Where this applies

Project finance is the right tool when the asset generates its own contracted cash flow and the sponsor cannot — or should not — carry the debt on the corporate balance sheet. It is the wrong tool more often than it is proposed. Part of our job is telling you which case you are in.

What the engagement covers

• Bankable feasibility review and technical adviser coordination
• Project financial model: construction, operations, debt sizing, DSCR sensitivities
• Risk allocation across construction, offtake, operations and currency
• Funding structure: senior, mezzanine, sponsor equity, export credit agency cover
• Lender and DFI approach, due diligence management, syndication
• Support through financial close and first drawdown

Instruments we work with

• Senior secured project debt and mini-perm structures
• Export credit agency covered facilities
• Development finance institution and green credit lines
• Mezzanine and shareholder subordinated debt

Typical timeline

Six to twelve months to financial close for a first-time sponsor, shorter where feasibility and permits are already complete.
