International Financing Solutions
Expand your business globally and unlock new opportunities in international trade, project development, cross-border operations, and foreign direct investment. Whether you are developing a new project, seeking structured funding, pursuing long-term financing, or expanding your business across multiple markets, we can help you evaluate potential financing solutions and connect with suitable funding sources.
We support qualified businesses, project sponsors, developers, and financial institutions seeking financing for significant commercial transactions across a broad range of industries. This includes companies with operations in Mexico, financial institutions in Latin America and the Caribbean, foreign investors seeking to invest in the United States, and businesses pursuing international growth opportunities.
We specialize in international financing solutions, including project financing and long-term loan financing. We understand that securing international financing can be complex, especially for larger transactions that may not fit within traditional bank lending parameters. Our goal is to help clients identify suitable lending solutions, prepare their financing request properly, and navigate the process with clarity and professionalism.
It is important for prospective clients to understand that our lender network does not support all international financing requests. We do not work on transactions involving countries subject to sanctions or restrictions imposed by the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, or other applicable regulatory authorities. We encourage prospective clients to contact us to determine whether the financing solution they are seeking may be available through our lender network.
For international financing, we currently provide access to the following financing solutions through select lender relationships:
1. Project Financing
We facilitate project financing opportunities outside the United States, with minimum funding requests generally starting at USD 5 million, depending on the lender’s criteria, project type, country, collateral, and overall transaction structure. Certain lenders may prefer larger project financing opportunities starting at approximately USD 125 million or higher.
Project financing may be suitable for infrastructure, energy, renewable energy, industrial, real estate development, hospitality, construction, and other qualified commercial projects. For most project financing transactions, lenders require the borrower, project owner, or sponsor to have meaningful equity in the project. This is commonly referred to as having “skin in the game.” In many cases, lenders expect the sponsor to contribute at least 30% cash equity toward the total project cost.
A common financing structure may begin at 70/30, meaning the lender may provide up to 70% of the total project cost through a senior credit facility, while the sponsor is expected to contribute the remaining 30% in cash equity or other acceptable capital contributions. Transactions with no sponsor equity are generally considered too speculative. Projects with stronger borrower equity, credible sponsors, and well-supported documentation are typically more attractive to lenders.
None of our lenders provide 100% project financing. Sponsors must have meaningful financial participation in the project, commonly referred to as having “skin in the game.” The typical financing structure is 70/30 or 80/20, meaning the lender may provide 70% to 80% of the total project cost, while the sponsor is expected to contribute the remaining 20% to 30% in cash equity or other acceptable capital contribution.
On a case-by-case basis, certain lenders may also require 20% or greater equity participation or profit-sharing in the project or company, depending on the transaction structure, risk profile, country, industry, collateral, and the overall strength of the sponsor.
Sponsors must also have sufficient resources to cover required out-of-pocket expenses associated with securing financing. These may include lender due diligence fees, legal fees, valuation reports, appraisal costs, technical reports, feasibility studies, structuring costs, compliance review, and other transaction-related expenses required by the lender or third-party professionals.
2. Long-Term Loan Financing Solutions
We work with a U.S.-based private direct lender that offers long-term financing options for qualified companies and commercial projects. Through this relationship, we can provide access to four distinct long-term loan programs designed for businesses seeking structured financing to support growth, expansion, cross-border operations, and foreign investment opportunities.
Loan amounts generally start at USD 5 million and may reach up to USD 15 million, depending on the specific program, borrower profile, collateral, country, use of proceeds, and lender approval.
These programs may be suitable for qualified businesses with long-term assets, such as real estate, equipment, machinery, or other acceptable business assets that can support the financing request.
Our Process and Lender Requirements
Our lender partners follow established underwriting, documentation, compliance, and funding protocols. For clients who are prepared, responsive, and able to follow the required process, the financing review can be more efficient and straightforward.
We are here to assist with your business financing needs, provide guidance, and help position your transaction for lender review. We have strong working relationships with the lenders in our network and understand the importance of presenting financing opportunities in a clear, organized, and professional manner.
However, prospective clients should understand that our lenders’ processes, documents, and compliance requirements cannot be customized to fit individual preferences. Our lenders are subject to strict internal policies, underwriting standards, compliance obligations, and regulatory requirements. They are not permitted to deviate from their established guidelines.
Clients who are serious, well-prepared, and comfortable following the required process are better positioned for a productive financing review. Those who wish to modify the steps, bypass documentation requirements, or change lender protocols may not be a suitable fit for our services.
All financing requests remain subject to lender review, eligibility requirements, underwriting, due diligence, documentation, collateral evaluation, terms and conditions, and final approval.
