International project finance is the method by which large scale capital developments across borders receive structured funding. Unlike domestic bank lending, which is tied to local credit conditions and the general financial strength of the borrower, international project finance is structured around the projected revenues, assets and contracts of the project itself. This approach makes it the most effective solution for project owners seeking significant capital for qualifying developments in any region of the world.

What International Project Finance Involves

In an international project finance transaction, the lender evaluates the project on its own merits. Financial feasibility studies, market analysis, projected revenue streams, construction plans and due diligence reports form the foundation of the assessment. The project is often held within a special purpose vehicle - a separate legal entity created solely for the development - which isolates the project assets and revenues from the borrower other activities. This structure protects both the lender and the project owner and is standard practice in large scale international project lending.

Why International Project Finance?

Project owners seeking large scale development capital in international markets face a common challenge: local banking infrastructure may be insufficient to meet the funding requirement, and international banks require extensive collateral. International project finance resolves this by focusing on the project viability rather than the existing balance sheet of the borrower. For projects of $10 million and above with clear revenue models and solid feasibility documentation, international project finance provides access to capital at a scale that would otherwise be unavailable.
