Project Financing

Financial institutions, including banks and capital investment entities, provide project loans for long-term infrastructure and industrial projects. Project finance has become a crucial method for acquiring capital, appealing to financial institutions for its lucrative potential. Many Bangladeshi entrepreneurs utilize project finance to realize their large-scale projects.

Project financing can be secured through a single bank or loan syndication. Key aspects that banks assess before granting project finance include the project's cash flow-generating capacity and a strong operational and financial track record.
