Project Finance Training

About the Course

Companies engaged in capital-intensive and discreet investments always have the choice to undertake the expenditure on a limited recourse basis, utilising a special purpose vehicle to hold the investment and its associated financing.

The purpose of this project finance training course is to detail:

• What advantages (as well as disadvantages) are associated with limited recourse (i.e. project) financing
• What are the essential differences between conventional financing and limited recourse financing
• The identification of the different financing characteristics between sectors and why those different characteristics exist
• The manner in which contractual rights can be enforced or protected in complex, cross-border situations, often in emerging market locations
• With particular attention to the pre-completion phase of greenfield projects
• The contrasting of projects with market risk/offtake and those with availability risk
• The identification of the characteristics of different financing approaches – bank syndication, Rule 144A bonds, domestic bonds, leasing, export credit agency, credit enhancements
• The role of the model in project financing which differs in significant ways from the role of the model in other forms of financing arrangements
• The appropriate approach of sponsors to the evaluation of the proposed investment and its financing methodology
• The case studies are an important feature of the course. They are selected to bring out particular issues and for the broad relevance they have across different sectors and geographies.
