Project Financing

AMIRA has access to Chinese funds, private equity groups, commercial banks, investment banks, and high-net-worth individuals — making it possible to offer long-term financing of infrastructure and industrial projects based on the projected cash flows of the project rather than the balance sheets of the project sponsors. Engagements involve a number of equity investors (sponsors) and a syndicate of banks or other lending institutions providing loans to the operation.

Non-recourse, asset-secured

The loans are most commonly non-recourse loans, secured by the project assets and repaid entirely from project cash flow rather than from the general assets or creditworthiness of the project sponsors — a decision supported in part by detailed financial modeling. The financing is typically secured by all of the project assets, including the revenue-producing contracts.

Security & control

Project lenders are given a lien on all of these assets and are able to assume control of a project if the project company has difficulties complying with the loan terms. This discipline protects every party at the table — sponsors, lenders, and contractors alike.

Guarantee instruments — Amira Group

Working with our parent company, Amira Group, we structure capital using State-issued Sovereign Guarantees or Bank Guarantees in ICC 458, 500, or 600 format. These instruments are suited to large industrial and infrastructure builds where balance-sheet financing alone is insufficient — giving lenders the security they need to underwrite projects in markets where conventional credit support falls short.
