Key steps in financing a project
Most projects require some form of debt financing. In fact, a common feature (see Common features of project finance transactions) of project finance is that there is a significant level of debt (capital-intensive) and there is also a high expected return. The debt element of the funding for a project is typically referred to as “project finance”.
While no two project finance transactions are ever the same, there are certain key steps that are fundamental to securing financing for a project. It is useful to note that publicly procured projects are likely to have more steps than privately initiated projects. Those key steps for both publicly procured and privately initiated projects are explained in this guidance note.
