Structuring, risk transfer and capital under a single mandate — so you negotiate once rather than three times.
Financing a major project conventionally means running three negotiations at once — an adviser who designs the structure, insurers and counterparties who price the risk, and lenders who decide whether to fund it. Each has its own timetable, its own commercial interest, and no obligation to agree with the others.
The Leveraged & Equity family removes that problem by holding all three functions inside one group. We are not brokers and we do not place mandates into the market. You have one conversation, one set of documents and one counterparty, and the parts of the structure are designed together rather than negotiated against each other.
L&EIP designs the financial structure and is the mandated structuring consultant to Leveraged & Equity Global Capital. We establish the capital mix the project can actually support, identify which risks can be moved off it, and build an architecture that lowers the cost of capital rather than simply reallocating it. The result is set out in our four financing structures.
The practice has operated since 2005 and was established as an independent firm in 2022, carrying with it the proprietary methods and trade secrets developed across two decades of complex transactions.
L&ERMP arranges the insurance, derivatives and risk-transfer instruments that make the structure work — the part most sponsors cannot assemble alone, and the part that determines how the finished project is priced. Two decades of relationships with A-rated counterparties allow risks to be moved that conventional approaches leave sitting on the sponsor.
You never deal with an insurance broker, an options trader or a derivatives specialist. That work happens inside the group and arrives as part of the same term sheet.
With the risks structured and transferred, L&EGC provides the debt and equity. Because the project reaching L&EGC has already been rebuilt, the assessment is a credit judgement rather than an evaluation of project or commercial risk — which is why terms are available that a conventional lender, looking at the same project untouched, could not offer.
It is also why we look at what a project can become rather than only at what a sponsor has done before. First-time sponsors, unfamiliar jurisdictions and new technology are not automatic exclusions here.
One mandate covers all three. See how it applies in your sector, or send us the project and we will tell you which structure fits.
"My goal is to make certain that the Leveraged & Equity family uphold this philosophy, prioritising client interests in all aspects of our structuring, risk mitigation, investment, and lending activities. What benefits our clients ultimately benefits us as well."
— Chris Bardouleau, Chief Executive Officer
Autonomy in judgement, free from the conflicts that quietly shape advice elsewhere.
Clear communication with clients, partners and counterparties at every stage of a transaction.
Every engagement treated as a reflection of our reputation, because it is.
Knowledge built over two decades of transactions that conventional finance could not complete.
Consistent ethical standards in every interaction, because trust is earned slowly and spent quickly.
Our approach has earned consistent recognition from independent bodies assessing innovation and excellence in financial services:
Four offices across the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the British Virgin Islands and Morocco, supported by agent networks in Australia, Canada, Dubai, South Africa and the United States. London and Nyon place us inside two of the world's principal financial and professional services centres; the remaining offices give us reach into the markets where our sponsors build.
