Project Finance
NLF Consultancy's Project Finance practice provides end-to-end advisory for the structuring, arrangement, and management of debt financing for large-scale infrastructure, industrial, energy, and real estate projects — primarily on a non-recourse or limited-recourse basis.
Project finance transactions are structurally complex, requiring careful alignment of cash flows, security packages, lender covenants, and construction risk allocation. Our team brings deep experience in designing structures that satisfy lender requirements while preserving maximum operational flexibility for the project sponsor.
We work with project sponsors, developers, and infrastructure companies across greenfield and brownfield projects — managing the full process from financial modelling and structure design through to lender syndication and financial close.
What We Offer
Non-Recourse Project Finance
Structuring and arranging non-recourse debt for infrastructure, energy, and industrial projects where repayment depends solely on project cash flows.
Construction Finance
Arranging construction-phase financing including bridge loans, construction lines, and phased drawdown structures for large developments.
Infrastructure Debt Syndication
Syndicating project debt across multiple banks and financial institutions — managing the arranger role from mandate through to disbursement.
Financial Modelling
Building detailed project finance models covering cash flow projections, debt service, DSCR analysis, and sensitivity testing under various scenarios.
Lender Due Diligence Support
Coordinating with lender technical advisors, legal counsel, and insurance consultants to facilitate efficient lender due diligence.
