WHY FINANCELY

Expertise Across Key Financial Instruments

Expertise in Diverse Financing Instruments for Sustainable Growth.

Non-Recourse Debt Financing

In non-recourse debt structures, lenders rely solely on the project's cash flows and assets for repayment, isolating sponsors from financial risk. 


Ideal for large-scale projects, this approach often involves detailed risk assessments and complex structuring. 


Typical costs range from 4% to 7% of the total debt, with timelines extending up to 18 months due to rigorous due diligence processes.

Green Bonds

Green bonds fund projects with clear environmental benefits, such as renewable energy or pollution control. Issuers must adhere to strict reporting standards to maintain investor confidence. 


Costs are generally competitive with conventional bonds, but additional reporting requirements can add to expenses. 


Issuance can take 3-6 months, depending on the project's readiness and compliance with green standards.

Sustainability-Linked Loans

These loans incentivize borrowers to achieve specific sustainability targets with financial rewards, such as reduced interest rates. 


The complexity of establishing and monitoring KPIs often influences the cost, which can vary widely. 


Implementation requires extensive preparation, usually spanning 6-12 months, to align the loan structure with sustainability goals.

Project Bonds

Project bonds offer an alternative to bank financing for long-term capital. 


They are market-driven and can be more cost-effective for well-structured projects with strong credit ratings. 


Costs vary based on market conditions and credit ratings, typically around 5-8%. 


The timeline for issuance can range from 6 months to a year, influenced by market appetite and the project's risk profile.

Leveraged Buyout (LBO)

In Leveraged Buyouts (LBOs) for business acquisitions, Financely Group employs a technical approach, focusing on the strategic use of debt financing to acquire companies. 


In an LBO, the acquisition's financing structure primarily involves debt, typically secured by the target company's assets, supplemented with a smaller proportion of equity. 


This method hinges on detailed financial analysis and risk assessment, ensuring the target company's cash flow can support the debt incurred.

Carbon Projects

Financing carbon projects involves navigating the voluntary carbon markets. Costs hinge on project viability and the expected value of carbon credits. 


The financial structuring must account for market volatility and credit pricing uncertainties. 


The process can take 12-24 months, influenced by project validation, credit generation potential, and market dynamics.
