Business Advisory Service Finance through Offshore

We provide assistance and support to our clients in need of business finance by dissecting markets and opportunities that are available to meet their defined business finance objectives.

We know that sometimes local bank arrangements may be the best solution available to a particular client, based on the parameters of the business and general economic condition. Sometimes, business restructuring may do the trick of ensuring the availability of liquid funds or assets that will in turn generate revenue for the business. Again, the best option may be offshore finance.

We don’t jump at decisions; we look carefully, expertly, at prevailing business, industry, and national economic factors to help clients determine their business finance options.

Having done that we deploy our people, process, and network into play to ensure clients obtain the necessary finance to get their business running, sustainably.

If you need our business finance service, please, contact us here and we will get in communication with you soon.

Project Finance through Offshore Finance Sourcing

Project and Structured Finance

Project Finance is a technique rather than a product.

Our Project and Structured Finance solutions consist of structuring the financing for a project wholly or partly on the credit of the project itself so that the projected revenue is the sole or primary source of repayment. I.e. lenders will have no, or only limited, recourse to the project promoters.

The structure is particularly appropriate to finance joint ventures where there are two or more owners with different interests and varying balance sheet strengths.

Projects with significant capital expenditures, which will produce identifiable and segregated revenue streams are ideal candidates for project financing. Industries suitable for project finance include:

1. Natural Resources; Mining and Mineral Resources
2. Natural Resources Derivatives, such as Petrochemicals
3. Power Generation & Renewable/Green Power Technologies
4. Transport Infrastructure
5. Technology and Telecommunications

Our experience and knowledge of international project finance will be invaluable to developers of projects that are suited to this financing technique. The team is supported by members of the Portal Consultancy Services Limited Advisory Board who contribute significant experience in this field.

Our services include analysis of the project from a fundraising standpoint; preparation of financial models; financial structuring; and advising on the selection of funding providers.

Project Finance

The structure of project financing usually requires customizing to reflect the risks, parameters, parties, and objectives of the project.

Structures are often complex and are designed to achieve risk allocation between the various parties to the project and the lender(s), and to provide acceptable security to the lender(s). It is often possible and indeed desirable to be able to structure the assets and liabilities on an “off-balance sheet” basis. Due to the complexity of structuring, this type of financing is generally more expensive in terms of higher margins, lending fees, monitoring expenses, and professional fees. Terms are based on the projected cash flows but can be as long as 15+ years.

We will advise you on the most competitive and reliable project funders for the optimum funding layers which may include:

1. Sponsor Equity
2. Additional Equity – Private or Public
3. Senior Debt – Bank Term Loans and/or Bonds
4. Leasing and/or Asset Based Loans
