Project Finance

Project finance funds a specific project — a plant, an expansion, an infrastructure asset — largely on the strength of the project's own cash flows. It needs a detailed project report, a bankable financial model, and an approach to lenders who appraise the project on its merits.

The firm prepares the project report and model, structures the funding, and supports the approach to term lenders.

Project finance support includes:

• A detailed project report (DPR)
• A bankable financial model with the project cash flows and ratios
• The funding structure — debt, equity, and means of finance
• Lender identification and the loan application
• Support through appraisal, sanction, and documentation

PBT prepares a bankable case and helps arrange the project finance.

• A thorough DPR and a bankable model
• A sound means-of-finance structure
• Access to suitable term lenders
• Support through appraisal and sanction
• Scope, deliverables, and fees agreed in writing up front

• What is a DPR?

  A detailed project report setting out the project, the technical and market position, the cost, the means of finance, and the projected cash flows — the basis on which lenders appraise it.

• Do you approach the banks for us?

  Yes. We help identify suitable term lenders, submit the application, and support you through appraisal and sanction.

• How long does it take?

  Preparing the DPR and model takes a few weeks; the lender appraisal and sanction then run on the bank's timeline.
