THE COMMERCIAL VIEW
What this route is designed to address
Large facilities require a coherent account of the project, sponsor, implementation schedule and debt service. We consider corporate and project finance cases involving expansion, development, infrastructure and major commercial contracts.
Conditions worth exploring
- Borrowing generally from €5 million equivalent
- Clear project milestones and funding schedule
- Evidence of sponsors, contracts, permissions and repayment
What to prepare first
- Transaction summary and sources and uses
- Project timetable and material agreements
- Sponsor background and ownership
- Cash flow model with downside case
Present the route to repayment as carefully as the opportunity. The more complete the case, the more productive the first review.
Points to clarify early
Do you consider international projects?+
International applications can be reviewed. Jurisdiction, counterparties, security and documentation determine whether a workable structure is available.
Can financing be drawn in stages?+
Staged funding may be considered where project milestones and the facility structure support it. The terms must set out any agreed drawdown schedule.
