AI Project Finance Platform For Lender Matching And Closing Execution

Project Finance | Underwriting | Lender Matching | Financial Close

AI-Powered Project Finance Platform

Project finance is not a pitch deck exercise. It is a bankability exercise. Lenders fund contracted cash flows, enforceable security, and risks that are allocated by documents, not by optimism.

Financely is an AI-powered decisioning platform for project finance. Developers upload their project documents and model, we underwrite to lender standards, match the project to suitable capital providers, and run a controlled path from indicative terms to financial close.

What Lenders Are Actually Underwriting

Revenue And Counterparty Risk

  • Offtake or revenue contract quality and termination rights
  • Pricing, indexation, volume, and performance mechanics
  • Counterparty credit and payment behavior
  • Payment security and collection controls

Execution And Completion Risk

  • EPC scope, performance guarantees, LDs, and acceptance tests
  • Permits, land rights, grid interconnection, and critical path
  • O&M readiness, availability assumptions, and operating cost realism
  • Insurance program and claims path

What This Platform Does

Document-First Underwriting

  • Structured upload of contracts, permits, technical materials, and the model
  • Automated checklist and missing-item flags
  • AI-assisted extraction of key terms, covenants, and risk allocation
  • Human underwriting review and normalization

The output is a lender-ready package built for credit committee and technical advisor review.

Lender Matching And Controlled Distribution

  • Lender fit scoring by sector, size, country limits, and structure
  • Curated outreach list aligned to mandates
  • Tracked submissions, routed Q&A, and term sheet normalization
  • Clear path from indicative terms to documentation and closing

You get decisioning to written outcomes and a controlled closing workflow.

Supported Project Types

Typical fit: renewable energy, storage, conventional power upgrades, logistics and storage assets, industrial facilities, midstream and processing assets, water and utilities, and contracted infrastructure. Sector fit depends on country limits, contract stack quality, and execution maturity.

Clear Multi-Step Procedure Until Closing

This is the practical workflow lenders expect. If you cannot run these steps cleanly, you will not close on time.

What You Upload

Core Project Documents

  • Offtake, PPA, tolling, supply, or revenue contracts
  • EPC contract, performance guarantees, and schedule
  • O&M contract or operating plan and budget
  • Permits, land rights, grid interconnection, and key correspondence

Model And Sponsor Materials

  • Financial model with assumptions register and sensitivities
  • Capex budget, contingency logic, and procurement plan
  • Sponsor track record, org chart, and governance
  • Sources and uses and equity confirmation

What You Get Back

Common Reasons Projects Get Declined

Bankability Gaps

  • No contracted revenue or weak offtake enforceability
  • Permits, land, or grid status not close-ready
  • EPC is not fixed-price or lacks performance protection
  • Model assumptions that do not match technical reality

Execution Gaps

  • Sponsor lacks delivery track record and credible operators
  • Capex budget is undercooked or contingency is unrealistic
  • Insurance and risk transfer are not solved
  • Closing timeline is not aligned to diligence scope

FAQ

Is This Non-Recourse Project Finance?

It can be non-recourse or limited recourse depending on maturity, contract quality, country risk, and lender criteria. Early-stage projects with weak contracts often require stronger sponsor support or additional risk mitigants.

Do I Need A Full Contract Stack Before Approaching Lenders?

You need enough stability for lenders to take the file seriously. Drafts can work when key commercial terms are locked and the diligence path is clear. If revenue, permits, or EPC are still vague, expect the process to stall.

Do You Provide The Debt?

No. Financely underwrites and packages the project to lender standards, matches it to suitable lenders, and runs the decisioning and closing workflow to written outcomes and, where applicable, financial close.
