Project financial structuring: a key lever for bankability

Introduction

Financial structuring is a key element in the success of high-impact projects. It involves organizing resources, anticipating needs, and securing financial flows in order to make projects credible, bankable, and attractive to investors and lenders.

Why structure a project financially?

Clarification of financial needs: identify the necessary sources of financing and optimize their combination (equity, quasi-equity, debt).

Alignment of stakeholders: ensure that the interests of public and private actors are balanced and consistent.

Reduction of financial risks: anticipate constraints and unforeseen events to secure economic viability.

Key steps in financial structuring

Initial analysis: diagnosis of financial needs and associated risks.

Financial modeling: development of a detailed financial plan, projections, and stress test scenarios.

Financing structuring: optimization of financial sources and instruments.

Compliance and bankability: alignment with investor and lender standards.
