Project financing obtains funding with limited recourse or without recourse by mortgaging the assets, expected returns or equity interests of a specific project. Unlike conventional financing, project financing is designed to ensure that the primary source of loan repayment is limited to the extent of the economic viability of the financed project, which builds on the project’s future net cash flows used for repayment and its asset value.

Apart from investing sufficient capital as scheduled, stakeholders do not provide extra credit support for the project and no third party offers credit. Operating under a more complex structure than conventional financing models, project financing requires all the parties involved to diversify risks and share the proceeds from the project through a series of contracts, agreements and arrangements.

This financing model is suitable for projects that require huge funding, with high risk can yield a stable cash flow, and exceed the power of conventional financing models. These projects include the development of natural resources such as natural gas, coal, and oil, and large construction projects in the transportation, electric power, agriculture, forestry, electronics and public utility sectors.
