Project Finance

A brief overview of our Project Finance services in Africa.

Project finance provides off balance sheet financing through limited or non-recourse loans that are collateralized by a project's assets, a pledge of shares in the project company, and future cash flows. Up to 80% of a project's total cost can be financed over 12- 20 years at attractive interest rates.

Project finance often involves a lengthy process of detailed disclosures (e.g., information memoranda and financial models, lender due diligence, intense negotiations and complicated financial and security documentation.) Capital | Africa's familiarity with this process ensures that our clients have the expert advice and support needed at every stage. This support begins with helping clients express and quantify their business concept in a project package suitable for potential development and commercial lenders. Our established relationships and experience with such agencies allow us to structure and present each project so as to receive the most favorable treatment possible. During the due diligence stage, CA assists clients with all aspects of lender communications and management including negotiating financing terms that are flexible, competitive and cost effective, and that minimize recourse to sponsors.
