Project and Development Finance
We turn investment projects into financeable structures whose repayment rests on the project's own cash flow.
In project finance the credit decision looks not at the company's past but at the project's future. What therefore decides the outcome is not the presentation but the robustness of the model: how reliable is the revenue contract, who covers a cost overrun, who carries currency risk, how is construction-period risk shared. If the answers are not built into the structure, the process does not move.
Scope
- Independent review of project feasibility and the financial model
- Structuring the project company (SPV) and the shareholding arrangement
- Design of gearing, repayment profile and debt service cover ratio
- Embedding risk allocation into the contract structure (construction, revenue, currency, operations)
- Process management with development finance institutions and export credit agencies
- Incorporating incentives, grants and investment support mechanisms
- Negotiating the commercial terms of the facility agreements
- Conditions precedent, reporting and construction-period monitoring
Outcomes
- A project file that answers the credit committee's questions in advance
- A contract architecture in which risks sit with the party able to carry them
- A long-term repayment structure aligned with the project's cash flow
- A balanced, multi-source package (banks + development finance + incentives)
Who It's For
- Developers planning generation and storage investments in energy
- Companies running infrastructure, logistics and transport projects
- Industrial groups building large-scale plants or capacity
- Developers of mixed-use, income-producing real estate projects
Our Advisory Areas
We take mandates in six principal areas. Most real assignments sit at the intersection of several; we build the structure as a whole.
Corporate Finance
We define correctly the capital a company needs for growth, investment or transformation, make it financeable and secure it from the right source.
Learn moreMergers and Acquisitions
We manage company sales, share transfers and strategic acquisitions from start to finish, representing one side only from valuation through to closing.
Learn moreCapital Structuring
We redesign the company's balance sheet to match the real rhythm of its cash flow: the right instrument, the right maturity, the right security.
Learn moreInternational Advisory
Wherever capital or a company crosses a border, we build the structure with the realities of each jurisdiction in view.
Learn moreSpecial Situations
In stressed balance sheets, partner separations and periods of transformation we set out the options realistically and run the process.
