Funding Infrastructure Projects in Emerging Markets
Funding Infrastructure Projects in Emerging Markets
Yes — if the project is structured correctly. Financely helps sponsors in Africa, Asia, LATAM, and frontier markets raise capital through real term sheets and structured issuance.
Infrastructure in emerging markets is essential — roads, energy, logistics, ports, water, telecom. But getting these projects funded is often harder than designing them. Why? Because investors need proof. Of risk mitigation. Of repayment sources. Of performance capacity.
Financely helps qualified sponsors raise funding for large-scale infrastructure by coordinating private capital, SBLC-backed structures, and lender-matched issuance strategies that close gaps banks can’t.
Challenges in Emerging Market Project Finance
- Perceived political or regulatory instability
- Lack of domestic banking support for large-ticket facilities
- Currency volatility and convertibility risk
- Weak documentation and absence of underwriting materials
What We Look For in Fundable Infrastructure Projects
- Signed or near-final offtake agreements (PPAs, concessions, leases, etc.)
- Permits, land titles, or regulatory approvals secured or in process
- Experienced sponsor team or EPC partner with completion capacity
- Revenue model that supports debt repayment over 5–15 years
How Financely Supports These Projects
- We structure the capital stack — debt, equity, and credit enhancement
- We issue SBLCs or DLCs to secure performance or trigger contract execution
- We bring in LPs and institutional investors with appetite for frontier-market exposure
- We help sponsors prepare the model, memo, and full investor file
Use Cases We’ve Worked With
- Solar + battery storage in sub-Saharan Africa
- Fiber and telecom rollout in West Africa and Southeast Asia
- Airport and port concessions in LATAM
- Data center infrastructure with anchor tenancy in place
- Utility-scale water treatment projects in North Africa
What We Don’t Support
We don’t work with speculative projects, concept-stage slides, or proposals lacking documentation. There must be a file. There must be a structure. And there must be a real business case.
