FAQ
What do project finance advisors actually do?
We align the model, contracts, construction path, permits, and security package with lender tests, then run a focused approach to MLAs and ECAs.
When do project finance consultants engage ECAs?
As soon as eligible content is clear. ECA interest can shape tenor, pricing, and local content rules.
Can you run a process with merchant risk?
Yes, but ratios tighten. Many lenders prefer contracted cash flows or hedges. We show the trade offs in the bank case.
