1. Project Screening & Bankability Assessment
We begin with a structured review of the project to assess:
– development status and readiness
– contractual framework (EPC, offtake, O&M, concessions)
– sponsor profile and asset base
– key risks and potential mitigants
Only projects that demonstrate a credible path to bankability progress to the structuring phase.
2. Risk Mapping & Mitigation Design
We identify and analyse the principal risks affecting lender appetite, including:
– construction and completion risk
– counterparty and payment risk
– early-stage cash flow volatility
Based on this analysis, we design a tailored mitigation framework. Further, if appropriate, we also determining whether and how bank and/or insurance guarantee instruments can meaningfully enhance the project’s credit profile.
3. Documentation & Lender Alignment
We work alongside legal, technical and commercial advisors to ensure:
– consistency between financial structure and project documentation
– clarity and enforceability of the security and support package
– readiness for lender due diligence and credit approval processes
4. Asset Integration
Where a bank guarantee issuance is appropriate, we assist in structuring:
– the role and purpose of the bank guarantee within the financing
– the integration of sponsor-owned eligible assets as backing
– alignment with issuing bank requirements and lender expectations
Our focus is on creating a coherent, bank-acceptable structure.
5. Support Through Financial Close
We remain involved through the financing process, supporting sponsors during:
– lender discussions and clarifications
– refinement of risk mitigants
– progression toward financial close
Our objective is to ensure that the structured framework functions as intended and meets lender requirements at closing.
What We Do Not Do
For clarity and transparency:
– we do not offer “off-the-shelf” funding solutions
– we do not promote guaranteed outcomes
– we do not sell or trade financial instruments
Our advisory is grounded in realism and alignment with institutional banking standards.
