Project Finance
Project finance is a method of financing large-scale infrastructure, industrial, and other projects where the lender looks primarily to the revenues generated by the project itself as the source of repayment. It involves structuring the financing for a specific project based on its cash flow and assets, rather than relying solely on the creditworthiness of the project sponsors.
Risk Allocation:
Project finance allows risks associated with a project to be allocated to different parties, such as lenders, sponsors, and contractors, based on their ability to manage and mitigate those risks. This helps protect investors and lenders from potential losses and ensures that the project can proceed with appropriate risk management measures in place.
Enhanced Financing Capacity
Project finance enables large-scale projects to access financing that may not be available through traditional corporate financing methods. By securing funding based on the project's cash flow and assets, rather than solely on the creditworthiness of the project sponsors, project finance can increase the project's financing capacity and reduce the financial burden on individual sponsors.

Project finance often involves limited recourse financing, where lenders have recourse only to the project's assets and cash flows for repayment. This limits the financial liability of project sponsors and investors to the amount of their investment in the project, providing them with protection against potential losses beyond their initial investment.
