Our financing process

A structured, transparent review pathway

Every enquiry moves through defined institutional stages, from preliminary review to documentation, due diligence and a formal financing decision. The framework below sets out what each stage examines and what it requires.

Five stages

From enquiry to decision

01

Enquiry

The applicant submits a project enquiry describing the company, financing type, project details and country of operation.

02

Preliminary review

The team assesses the enquiry in context, testing whether the project and financing type fall within the institution's scope.

03

Documentation

The applicant provides the corporate, financial and project documents required to evaluate asset viability and transaction structure.

04

Due diligence

Underwriting examines asset viability, transaction risk and legal structuring before any recommendation is prepared.

Review standards

Verification before decision

Each stage applies documented underwriting criteria covering asset viability, transaction risk and legal structuring. Applicants should expect formal verification of the information they provide.

Completing a review does not imply automatic approval. Every financing decision is issued only after the full evaluation is complete, and the outcome depends on the project, its documentation and the applicable criteria.
