Project finance term sheet support: common questions
Answers from Global Infrastructure Advisors. Meet our team and explore our published infrastructure experience.
What matters in a project finance term sheet besides the interest margin?
Repayment timing, fees, reserve accounts, cover ratios, distribution restrictions and conditions can materially affect project cash flows and flexibility. GIA compares these terms alongside pricing and tests their implications in the financial model.
How can competing financing proposals be compared?
Proposals should be modelled on a consistent project case while retaining each lender's actual terms. GIA compares funding amounts, pricing, fees, repayment profiles and principal commercial conditions so differences in cost and flexibility remain visible.
Why test financing terms under downside scenarios?
A term sheet that works in the base case may constrain distributions or debt service under lower revenue, higher costs or delay. GIA models selected downside cases to identify sensitivities and support informed negotiation of the proposed terms.
Does term sheet support include legal advice?
GIA provides commercial comparison, financial modelling and a prioritised issues list. Legal interpretation, enforceability and drafting are addressed by the client's appointed counsel, with tax or technical input coordinated where the proposed terms require it.
