We provide project financing support for domestic and international companies seeking capital for commercial real estate, infrastructure, industrial, energy, renewable energy, hospitality, construction, and other business-related projects.
Project financing is a specialized form of funding in which the lender evaluates the strength of the project itself, including its business plan, projected cash flow, collateral, sponsor experience, repayment strategy, exit plan, and overall economic feasibility. In many cases, repayment is expected to come primarily from the future cash flow generated by the project, rather than solely from the borrower’s existing balance sheet.
Project financing may be structured as debt, equity participation, or a combination of both, depending on the lender, the project, the country, the collateral, the borrower’s contribution, and the overall risk profile of the transaction. These financing structures may be used for both smaller commercial projects and large-scale developments.
We work with project financing opportunities that typically begin at approximately USD 5 million and, depending on the lender, project type, structure, and country, may extend into the hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars. Smaller transactions may be suitable for private credit providers, collateral-based lenders, or specialized commercial lenders, while larger transactions may require institutional lenders, private family offices, structured finance groups, or other capital providers capable to supporting major project development.
Many borrowers, sponsors, and project owners are highly experienced in their respective industries but may not be familiar with the expectations, documentation standards, and due diligence requirements involved in project financing. For this reason, we strongly encourage each borrower or sponsor to prepare a detailed, well-written, and lender-ready business plan that clearly explains the project, ownership structure, sources and uses of funds, development timeline, financial projections, repayment plan, exit strategy, and management experience.
Well-prepared projects are more likely to receive serious consideration from lenders and funding sources. A strong financing package should clearly demonstrate that the project is commercially viable, properly structured, supported by credible assumptions, and capable of generating sufficient cash flow to repay the financing.
We work with alternative capital providers, private lenders, private family offices, and other funding sources, rather than relying solely on traditional banks. These lenders often have their own underwriting methodology, platform requirements, documentation standards, and funding protocols. We help clients understand these requirements and present their financing requests in a clear, organized, and professional manner.
Our lender relationships include capital providers based in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and other select jurisdictions. These lenders may consider projects in areas such as renewable energy, infrastructure, sustainable commercial real estate, commercial real estate development, industrial projects, hospitality, mining, oil and gas, and other qualified sectors.
We generally work on projects in countries acceptable to our lenders and not subject to applicable sanctions or restrictions imposed by the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, or other relevant authorities.
Because each lender has different requirements, transaction size matters. Some lenders may consider smaller project financing requests starting at around USD 5 million, while others focus exclusively on larger projects starting at USD 125 million or more. Larger projects may require more sophisticated structuring, deeper due diligence, stronger sponsor equity, third-party reports, legal review, valuation support, technical analysis, and a more detailed repayment or exit strategy.
For collateral-based financing, certain lenders may consider commercial real estate or land as collateral, depending on location, valuation, ownership, marketability, and loan-to-value requirements. For larger structured project financing transactions, lenders may require borrower equity, profit participation, lender fees, deposits, due diligence costs, or other transaction-specific conditions.
We may charge a consulting, advisory, or transaction-related fee for our work in evaluating, structuring, and facilitating project financing and commercial loan opportunities. Our compensation generally ranges from 1% to 3% of the total gross loan amount or total requested funding amount, depending on the size, complexity, structure, and scope of the transaction.
For transactions that are:
(a) Greater than Ten Million United States Dollars (USD 10,000,000); and
(b) Determined by us to involve significant complexity, size, or advisory work,
A retainer fee may be required to formally engage our services.
The retainer fee is intended to confirm that the borrower, sponsor, or project owner is serious, committed, and prepared to move through a potentially lengthy financing process. Project financing often requires substantial time, coordination, lender communication, document review, transaction structuring, and preparation before a lender can issue a Memorandum of Understanding, Letter of Intent, Term Sheet, or other financing proposal.
The retainer fee compensates us for advisory and consulting work that may include, but is not limited to, reviewing project materials, identifying suitable lenders, communicating with borrowers and funding sources, evaluating transaction structure, preparing a credit memorandum or lender presentation package, and supporting the financing process. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the retainer fee is non-refundable. However, it may be credited toward the final transaction-related fee upon the successful closing and first disbursement of funds.
Please note that borrowers and project sponsors should expect to be responsible for all third-party due diligence costs associated with a project financing transaction. These may include legal fees, valuation reports, appraisal costs, technical reports, feasibility studies, engineering reviews, environmental studies, tax analysis, insurance review, lender due diligence, structuring expenses, and other reasonable out-of-pocket costs required by the lender or transaction parties.
To evaluate a project financing request, we generally require the following preliminary documents:
• Executive Summary
• Detailed Business Plan, including Exit Strategy
• Five-Year Financial Projections in Excel format, including Sources and Uses of Funds
• Repayment Plan
• Sponsor or Management Team Background
• Ownership Structure
• Project Development Budget or Construction Budget, if applicable
• Collateral Information, if applicable
• Existing Financial Statements, if available
• Supporting Contracts, Permits, Appraisals, Feasibility Studies, or Third-Party Reports, if available
We recommend that borrowers provide a clear and detailed explanation of the total funding requirement, use of proceeds, development timeline, repayment source, exit strategy, and expected cash flow from start to finish. Projects that are well-organized, properly capitalized, and supported by credible documentation are more likely to be reviewed seriously by lenders and funding sources.
We appreciate your interest in our project financing services and welcome the opportunity to assess whether your project is suitable for our lender network.
