New to project finance? Start here.

Plain-language guides on what infrastructure projects are, how project finance works, and how to start putting one together.

🚀
So you have an idea. What now?
The building blocks of a bankable project — in the right order. Start with the customer.
🏦
What is project finance?
Financiers fund projects that don't exist yet — and the amounts can run into the millions. Here's how it works.
💡
What's in it for entrepreneurs?
Development fees, equity stakes, long-term returns — why more African entrepreneurs should be building in this space.
📋
What is a project?
A ring-fenced, revenue-generating asset with its own contracts and cash flows. Here's what that means.
👷
What is a project developer?
The developer assembles the project — land, customer, contractors, financing. It's one of infrastructure's most valuable roles.
🧠
How to think about project finance
Lenders evaluate risk, not vision. Understanding how they think changes how you build and present your project.
