This team provides debt solutions, debt restructuring, customized project structuring and securitizations. Our non-traditional approach to structuring and financing transactions gives us an edge in providing strategically competitive advantages to our clients
Our comprehensive project finance advisory services cover the entire lifecycle of a project, from early development to completion. This includes project equity structuring, mezzanine or debt syndications and public-private partnerships (PPP). We provide innovative and effective solutions beyond conventional forms of lending, including asset-based financing structures, off-balance-sheet financing, securitizations and multilateral funding.
Our project finance advisory services are geared towards assisting governments, public and private companies in the planning, development and execution of large-scale projects and related services. We advise the client on the best funding options available and appropriate for specific projects. Project Finance is typically for long-term self-liquidating projects.
Our core competence includes project appraisal (economic and financial modelling), project research, due diligence analysis, capital structuring, capital raising and contract and commercial terms negotiation.
We assist clients to develop various appropriate financing structures tailored to clients’ needs while also coordinating, negotiating and implementing contract terms on behalf of clients. The various forms of our structured products are highlighted as follows:
Project Equity/Debt Syndications
Loan syndication is when a group of lenders fund various portions of a loan to a single borrower. Loan syndication is usually needed when the amount the client is borrowing requires an amount too large for a single lender to provide or when the loan is outside the scope of a lender’s risk exposure levels.
We provide specialized syndication services and can act as lead arranger, structuring, arranging, and administering syndicated loans for our clients.
Public-Private Partnerships (“PPP”)
Public-private partnerships involve collaboration between government agencies and private-sector companies in order to finance, build, and operate large and sometimes complex projects, such as public transportation networks, schools, hospitals etc. Financing these projects through a public-private partnership allows the project to be completed sooner or make it a possibility in the first place.
We provide expert advice to guide the structuring of these partnerships and as well as navigating the varying degrees of responsibilities and contractual obligations.
Multilateral Funding
Our knowledge, experience and reputation position us to assist clients to access cheap finance and also negotiate favourable contract terms with development and multilateral financial institutions.
Bridge Financing
Bridge financing is a form of temporary or intermediate funding solution intended to cover a business’s short-term expenses until long-term funding is secured. We assist clients with bridge financing, to help them continue their daily operations while they seek long term financing options.
Asset-based Financing & Securitizations
Asset-based financing is a process where the company’s assets are used as collateral to get a loan from lenders. It is a specialized method that provides companies with working capital and term loans using accounts receivable, machinery, equipment and real estate as collateral.
Securitization is the design of a marketable financial instrument by merging or pooling various financial assets into one group and then selling this group of repackaged assets to investors. Securitization offers opportunities for investors and frees up capital for originators, both of which promote liquidity in the marketplace.
