PROJECT FINANCING

We deliver project finance solutions on a world scale along with an inexorable commitment to make every client deal more profitable.

Shire Ventures facilitates the international project financing you need along with deal structuring advisory services that mitigate risk and aggressively protects your interests.

From that foundation, we develop some of the most innovative project funding solutions in the world and source unique project funding alternatives through capital markets and lenders worldwide.

Our expertise in delivering successful project financing packages and our innate ability to match the right project with the right lenders, architects, engineers, consultants, builders, developers and all of the professionals your project will need is uncanny.

Doing it seamlessly and at the right time gives us all the tools we need to arrange and deliver extraordinary financial solutions for challenging, difficult-to-place loans and projects.

Project Finance provides long-term, limited recourse or non-recourse loans used to finance large commercial, industrial, infrastructure and sovereign projects in emerging market nations worldwide.

Unique to project financing is the debt and repayment structure are based on the projected cash flow of the project rather than the balance sheets of the project sponsor. Usually, a project finance structure involves a number of equity participants, who can be project sponsors or equity investors, and a consortium of lenders that provide loans to the project.

Project finance loans are almost always extended on a non-recourse or limited recourse basis and are secured by the project assets and operations. Repayment of the loans occurs entirely from project cash flow, not from the assets or credit of the borrower.

Today, most project financing is deployed in developing countries around the world where the need for project financing remains high and will for the foreseeable future. As more countries move from frontier to emerging economies demand for public utilities and infrastructure will continue to increase.

COMMODITY FINANCE

Commodity Finance is a specialized area of trade finance used for funding the production, transportation and sale of commodities.

Commodity Finance provides primarily short-term financing facilities to a range of principals in the commodities business, including producers, commodity traders and major international trading operations, commodity importers and commodity exporters.

Shire Ventures can facilitate commodity finance facilities - secured or unsecured - depending upon our assessment of the strength of the borrower and the structure and profitability of the underlying deal. Commodity finance is too broad a statement because there are really four different financings in the commodities lifecycle as illustrated in the table above.

Types of Commodity
Financing

Commodity financing is typically grouped into four specialized categories of financing based on when in the deal cycle the financing is applied:

Pre-export Finance

Countertrade Finance

Barter

Inventory Finance
