Project Finance |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Definition |
|
| |
 |
A method of funding whereby a Company obtains separate financing for specific assets by giving creditors
a claim on the revenues generated by those assets. The created entity's only asset is the ‘Project’. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Features |
|
| |
 |
Assets have a high degree of ‘specificity’ |
 |
Clear source of cash flows with high degree of certainty |
 |
Transparency of information |
 |
Claimants don’t want commingling with other assets and ‘projects’ |
 |
Often, guarantees of government or of partners/customers |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Successful project financings exhibit the following characteristics: |
|
| |
 |
Stakeholders are committed and of high quality; |
 |
Risks and rewards are clearly identified; and |
 |
The contractual framework transparently and equitably assigns risks and rewards amongst stakeholders. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Structured Finance |
|
| |
|
|
| |
 |
A non-traditional lending method tailored to specific client needs. |
 |
Usually cashflow based rather than asset reliant. |
 |
Allows borrowing against the value of a specific asset, project or income stream rather than on the basis
of the borrower’s own credit rating. |
| |
 |
In general a structured finance solution seeks to isolate the risk of the loan facility from the overall
risks of the borrower’s business. |
|
 |
Scenarios best suited to structured finance solutions are: |
| |
 |
Companies with capitalisation issues, i.e. who cant borrow any further on the strength of their
existing balance sheets. |
 |
Service entities with little or no tangible assets of worth, e.g. technology and telecom. |
 |
Where the financing risks are too large for the borrower and/or lenders to cope with, e.g. cross-border |
