Project Financing

Project Financing is a specialized funding approach where the repayment of debt and return on equity is primarily dependent on the cash flows generated by the project itself, rather than the balance sheet strength of the sponsors. It is widely used for infrastructure, energy, real estate, and large industrial ventures.

Key Features

• Cash Flow Based: Debt is serviced from project revenues, not sponsor guarantees.

• Risk Allocation: Risks are distributed among lenders, sponsors, contractors, and other stakeholders.

• Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV): Projects are often housed in an SPV to ring‑fence liabilities.

• Long Tenure: Financing structures are aligned with the project’s lifecycle.

• Security: Collateral is usually project assets and future receivables.
