As developers continue to face resistance from financiers in providing finance for projects, accessing alternative sources of finance or equity has become increasingly important.

The ability to demonstrate sufficient equity in a project is a key factor considered by senior financiers when assessing their appetite to participate in a project. Indeed, it is often the case that senior financiers will not consider a project that requires mezzanine debt, but will consider the same project if the mezzanine debt is provided as equity.

Through our clients and contacts we are able to introduce developers to potential equity and debt providers to assist in sourcing the additional equity required to make projects more attractive to senior financiers. If this would be of assistance to you, please feel free to contact us.
