London financial district — project finance from $25 million

Project Finance and Funding from $25 Million

Every project needs a team. We are the member who makes it fundable.

Leveraged & Equity Investment Partners structures project finance from $25 million for sound projects at any stage of development, including first-time sponsors and projects without a full team or track record. We design the capital structure, our colleagues at Leveraged & Equity Risk Mitigation Partners transfer the risks that hold it back and Leveraged & Equity Global Capital provides the funding. Infrastructure, emerging markets, energy, real estate and technology. One mandate, one term sheet.

Funding a Project Without a Full Team or Track Record

Conventional lenders expect an experienced sponsor, a complete professional team and 25–40% of the project cost in equity before they will commit. Many sound projects do not yet have all three and are declined or offered terms that do not work, whatever the strength of the project itself.

We look at what the project can become, not only at what the sponsor has done before. We design the capital structure and Leveraged & Equity Risk Mitigation Partners transfers the principal risks to A-rated counterparties, so that funding becomes credit risk, not project risk. Because we are the mandated structuring consultant to Leveraged & Equity Global Capital, the structure we design is the structure that gets funded.

Commit Less Equity

Structures that typically call for 5–20% of project cost rather than the conventional 25–40% — leaving your capital free for the next opportunity rather than locked in this one.

Borrow at Better Rates

Once risk sits with parties equipped to hold it, the credit question changes. Weighted average cost of capital typically falls by 100–400 basis points, and equity return expectations follow it down.

Protected Earnings

A contractual floor beneath project earnings, underwritten by A-rated counterparties. The downside is held by someone built to absorb it, not by your balance sheet.

Project Finance at Any Stage of Development

Before a team is in place

We can be the first specialist on the project, so the capital structure is settled while everything else is still taking shape.

With part of the team appointed

We work alongside the contractor, engineers, managers or modellers you have already engaged, and build the structure around the work they have done.

Offered terms elsewhere that do not work

We rebuild the structure around the project you have, for funding by Leveraged & Equity Global Capital.

A Structure Designed for Your Project

Every project carries its own risks, so every structure we design is built for the project it serves. We start from where your project is being penalised: the equity requirement, its exposure to market prices, its credit profile or the debt itself. Depending on what the project needs, the structure can reduce the equity required, link the cost of finance to market prices, place a guaranteed floor beneath earnings, or fund the project entirely as equity.

Best Risk Transfer Consultancy, Global 2026 · Best Structuring & Risk Transfer Consultants, Global 2025 · Corporate Finance Strategists of the Year 2024/25 — three of seven international awards for capital structuring and risk transfer since 2021.

Projects the conventional market declined. Built, operating, investment-grade.

A bio-refinery where the equity at risk fell from $50.2 million to $11.6 million. A $750 million resort where the cost of capital dropped two full percentage points and annual capital costs fell by $15.1 million. A mixed-use campus and a specialist manufacturing plant, both rated upper investment-grade once stabilised.

Every one of them was unobtainable through conventional means when the sponsor first came to us.
