Project Finance Credit Enhancement
FG Capital Advisors structures credit enhancement for project finance transactions where lenders, investors or other capital providers require additional protection before committing capital.
We advise on SBLCs, guarantees, debt service reserve support, completion support and other structures designed to address specific financing and project risks.
SBLCs
Contingent liquidity and lender-required support.
DSRA Support
Alternatives to fully cash-funded reserve requirements.
Guarantees
Structured support for contractual and payment obligations.
Completion Support
Protection against completion and cost-overrun risk.
Credit Enhancement Solutions
The appropriate structure depends on the project, sponsor, financing terms and the specific credit gap identified by the lender or capital provider.
Debt Service Reserve Support
Where permitted by lenders, qualifying credit support may be structured as an alternative to fully cash-funded debt service reserves.
Completion & Cost-Overrun Support
Additional support can address construction completion, commissioning, milestone and cost-overrun risks identified during underwriting.
Guarantees & Sponsor Support
Structures may include surety guarantees, parent guarantees, sponsor undertakings or other contractual credit support.
How the Mandate Works
Credit enhancement is structured around the underlying financing requirement rather than treated as a standalone instrument.
