  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
