#01 · Before you start

Before you start

The submission form takes most people 15–20 minutes. Having the following ready will make it quicker:

  1. 01A short summary of the opportunity and the amount you're seeking
  2. 02A pitch deck, summary, or financial model, if you have one
  3. 03Any permits, licences, or corporate documents relevant to the project

03 / Bankability

What investors will ask to see

Lenders and investors run the same checklist, in roughly this order. The further along your file is, the faster the conversation.

International lenders assess environmental and social risk against the IFC Performance Standards; banks that have adopted the Equator Principles apply them to project finance. Building to those standards from the start saves months later.

Site & permits

  • Land rights or a long-term lease
  • Environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA)
  • Licences and permits, with expiry dates

Commercial contracts

  • Offtake agreement (PPA, water or concession)
  • EPC contract — fixed price, fixed date
  • Operations and maintenance agreement

Technical

  • Feasibility study
  • Resource or demand study from an independent adviser
  • Grid or network connection study

Financial & corporate

  • A financial model lenders can audit
  • Sponsor track record and equity commitment
  • Corporate documents and beneficial ownership

#02 · Common obstacles

Why good projects stall

Most projects that fail to raise capital are not bad projects. They are unfinished ones.

  1. 01The offtaker cannot pay reliably, and there is no liquidity support or guarantee behind it.
  2. 02Revenue is in local currency while the debt is in dollars, with no plan for the mismatch.
  3. 03Land rights, permits or the ESIA are incomplete when diligence starts.
  4. 04The financial model cannot be audited, or its assumptions are not sourced.
  5. 05The sponsor’s own equity contribution is unclear or not yet committed.
