Capital Advisory & Funding Syndication
Project Finance Built Around Viability and Cash Flow
Funding support for greenfield, brownfield and expansion projects where cost, approvals, implementation and projected cash flows must stand together.
Definition
What is project finance?
Project finance is assessed through the project's cost, promoter contribution, approvals, execution plan, market assumptions and ability to generate cash after commissioning.
Finsutra's role is to understand the requirement, assess readiness, shape the transaction narrative and coordinate with potentially suitable capital providers. Every provider makes its own independent decision.
Eligibility, amount, structure, pricing and tenure are decided by the relevant lender or institution, based on business profile, financials, documentation and applicable policies.
Who may need it
Businesses this is usually considered for
- Promoters and companies developing projects with a defined cost, implementation plan and operating model.
- Requirements with a clearly identified purpose and funding quantum
- Promoters prepared to share complete financial and transaction information
- Businesses seeking a structured process rather than an approval promise

- 02
Readiness & viability review
Review the business, financial position, obligations, project assumptions and information gaps.
- 03
Engagement & information plan
Agree the advisory scope, responsibilities and the information needed for a meaningful assessment.
- 04
Transaction assessment
Examine cash flows, obligations, security, project assumptions and the proposed use of capital.
- 05
