Project Financing
Project financing is a method used to fund large-scale projects, like building a bridge or a power plant, largely through the future cash flows generated by the project itself rather than through the balance sheets of investors. Typically, this involves securing loans backed by the projected revenue from the project. Investors and lenders assess risks, costs, and returns before committing funds. This approach separates the project’s financial risks from the sponsors' other business ventures, allowing for investment in substantial initiatives while managing financial exposure.

Project financing is a way to fund large projects, like infrastructure or energy developments, using a combination of loans and investments. Instead of relying solely on the company's overall assets, lenders look primarily at the project's expected cash flow and success. This means the project itself is responsible for paying back the financing, often secured by the future revenue it generates. It's commonly used for big endeavors where costs can be high, allowing companies to undertake significant projects while spreading financial risk and leveraging external capital.
