Project Finance Bridge Loans

Large-scale energy, infrastructure, and industrial projects often face timing gaps between financial close and construction or acquisition commitments. Sellers, EPC contractors, and governments demand cash certainty, while export credit agencies and long-term lenders may take months to finalize documents. Financely arranges bridge loans that cover this gap, giving sponsors the ability to start construction or secure concessions while permanent financing is being completed.

“Without the bridge, we would have missed the government signing window. Financely delivered $75m in four weeks, keeping the project on track.”
