Project Financing

Project Financing is a specialized form of funding for large-scale, long-term infrastructure and industrial projects. Unlike traditional corporate finance, project financing is non-recourse or limited-recourse debt, meaning repayment comes primarily from the project's cash flows rather than the balance sheet of the project sponsors. This structure involves a complex interplay of various parties, including sponsors, lenders, contractors, and off-takers. IGAP Global specializes in providing expert advisory services for Project Financing, guiding clients through every step of this intricate process to secure optimal funding solutions for their ventures.

Our Approach to Project Financing

We provide comprehensive advisory and facilitation services throughout the entire project financing lifecycle:

• **Project Feasibility & Bankability Assessment:** Evaluating the technical, commercial, environmental, and legal viability of a project to determine its bankability and attractiveness to lenders and investors.
• **Financial Structuring & Modeling:** Designing robust and innovative financial structures that optimize capital allocation, mitigate risks, and attract diverse funding sources. This includes developing detailed financial models to forecast cash flows and assess profitability.
• **Risk Identification & Mitigation:** Identifying key project risks (e.g., construction, operational, market, regulatory) and developing comprehensive mitigation strategies to enhance project resilience and investor confidence.
• **Due Diligence Coordination:** Managing the extensive due diligence process required by lenders and equity investors, facilitating information flow, and addressing all queries efficiently.
• **Lender & Investor Identification:** Leveraging our extensive global network of commercial banks, development financial institutions (DFIs), multilateral agencies, export credit agencies, and infrastructure funds to identify potential financiers.
• **Negotiation & Documentation:** Leading negotiations on financing terms, security packages, inter-creditor agreements, and project contracts (e.g., EPC, O&M, PPA) to achieve favorable outcomes and ensure a solid legal framework.
• **Financial Close & Post-Closing Support:** Guiding clients through the final stages of closing and providing initial advice on post-financial close management and compliance.
