An investment lending is a type of loan provided to a business to finance new capital-intensive projects.

As a rule, these are significant investments.

To gain access to investment lending, the recipient’s own contribution is usually required, which in most cases amounts to 20-30% of the total project cost. Some financial institutions cover up to 90-100% of the investment cost of the project.

CP Finance UK FINANCE provides financing for large projects with the initiator’s own contribution of up to 90%.

The loan can be provided both for a newly established company and for companies that have been on the market for many years.

In most cases, European banks recognize a company as reliable if it has worked on the market for at least 6 months.

Provided financing can be short-term (up to 1 year), medium-term (1-3 years) and long-term (up to 20 years).

An investment lending can only be used for investment purposes, including the following expenses:

• Property that will be owned by the company.
• Special equipment and machines used for production.
• Copyright, patents, licenses and know-how.
• Securities.

The main goals that can be achieved using investment lending are classified by economists into three main groups:

• Material investments such as the purchase of real estate, company cars, machine tools or special equipment needed to grow the business.

• Intangible and legal investments, including the acquisition of copyrights, trademarks, patents, know-how, licenses, which are necessary for the functioning of the company.

• Financing. For example, buying long-term securities, including shares of other companies.

A distinctive feature of investment lending is that they are issued to fulfill clearly defined plans.

Any entrepreneur can apply for an investment lending if he has a good credit history and is ready to invest his own funds, at least 10% of the planned investment.

A well-prepared business plan is a prerequisite for obtaining a loan.

The loan amount depends on many factors, which are considered individually. Both the needs of the enterprise and its financial condition are taken into account. The bank can offer a one-time disbursement of the entire requested amount, as well as its payment in tranches.

The latter solution is especially suitable for projects implemented in several stages (for example, construction or modernization of a production hall).

Large investment lending: how to get it

Our clients are often interested in the conditions that an entrepreneur must fulfill in order to obtain an investment loan.

Companies wishing to develop large projects in the energy, oil and gas sector, infrastructure or agriculture often apply for investment loans. Not all applicants can count on a positive decision from the bank. Below we will indicate what requirements the company must meet.

A business owner wishing to access bank investment lending must meet the following requirements:

• High creditworthiness, which depends on the requested loan amount requested by the company from the financial institution.

• Flawless credit history, which can be verified through the credit bureau in your country.

• Availability of certain assets to make your own initial contribution in the amount of 10% of the cost of the project. This percentage also depends on the risk that the bank faces in case of investment failure.

• A promising investment project, which is supported by a reliable business plan. The entrepreneur must provide documents confirming the feasibility and financial efficiency of the future project.

To obtain an investment bank loan, you must submit the relevant documents and applications to the selected bank.

Their number and list may differ depending on the institution.

To increase the chance of a positive decision of the bank, it is necessary to carefully prepare a business plan for this project. It is also necessary to prepare documents that reflect the financial health of the company.

When deciding on lending to a business, the bank analyzes the planned project in terms of the chance of success and the possibility of making a profit. The current economic situation is also taken into account.

It makes sense to publish detailed financial analysis and forecasts.

The bank may refuse to issue a loan if it considers that the project was planned inaccurately and the risk is too high.

Advantages and disadvantages of investment loan

Not every company has financial resources that will cover the cost of an investment project.

Lack of free financial resources usually means abandoning many projects that could positively affect the development of the company and, thus, increase its income.

With financial support from large banks, you will be able to carry out further investment projects necessary in an era of growing competition. Companies must invest in new products, new technologies, new industries, better equipment. Investing in development ensures the maintenance of a competitive position in the market and growth of the business.

Investment lending for large-scale projects allow adjustment of financing in accordance with the borrower’s project’s cash flows.

Flexible conditions to a certain extent prevent problems with the company’s financial liquidity caused by the implementation of capital-intensive projects.

Thanks to the competent combination of borrowed funds from several sources, even large and expensive projects do not significantly worsen the financial health of the company.

An investment loan is usually provided for a long term.

However, remember that this period does not exceed the depreciation period of the fixed assets that make up the investee (for example, purchased cars, equipment or real estate).

Advantages: 

Investment lending for many companies is the only solution to ensure business growth.

The most important advantage of an investment loan is a large amount of financing.

It happens that banks do not set an upper limit on the loan amount.

The financing provided can be the key to success for a young company, giving the business a huge competitive advantage and becoming the driving force behind its development.

The long term of the loan allows the borrower to tailor financing to a specific project.

Early repayment of the loan is possible, as well as periodic grace periods for debt repayment.

To obtain a loan for the implementation of large investment projects, it is necessary to provide a business plan and financial indicators of the company, including current revenue and projected profit. Banks carefully analyze all applications and check the chances of success of a particular project.

Investment loans are provided only to companies that, according to the bank, are considered reliable and have good prospects for the future.

Receiving such financing is a kind of confirmation of the high potential of the business.

Despite the seeming complexity and laboriousness, investment lending today has become a popular solution for many companies.

Disadvantages:

Like any other financial product, an investment loan for the development of large projects has some drawbacks.

The biggest drawback is by far the very difficult access for new companies.

For a company to be trusted by the bank, it must successfully operate on the market for at least 6-12 months. Therefore, it is often possible to attract project financing for new companies only through alternative financial instruments.

Another drawback is the relatively long processing time of the application, which is preceded by the collection of a significant amount of documentation about the company and its activities. Some companies for which interest rate risk is important may also view variable interest rates as a disadvantage.

Another problem may be the need for an initiator’s contribution and collateral.

Bank loans for large investments

The participation of banks in the investment process involves the mobilization of funds for investment purposes, the issuance of large loans, investment in securities and equity participation.

Bank investment loans have sufficient profitability with high risks.

So, investment bank lending is a long-term service available to customers who have promising ideas for improving or opening a new direction in their business.

Principles for providing bank investment loans:

• A clear delineation of functions and responsibilities between the credit and investment structural divisions of the bank, which should help to optimize the relationship between the bank and clients in the investment area.

• Optimization of the investment lending procedure, which makes it possible to improve the process of granting and repaying an investment loan in accordance with specific phases of the life cycle of an investment project.

• Unification of the procedure for obtaining an investment loan in all large commercial banks with the creation of a number of clear criteria that determine the terms of lending.

• Priority of innovative projects due to the need for continuous technical development and business modernization.

• Analysis of the creditworthiness of borrowers, as well as forecasting the characteristics of future cash inflows in the long term.

• The effectiveness of investment lending mechanisms for the bank and borrowers, contributing to the balance of interests of the parties to the loan agreement for the successful implementation of the investment project.

• Applying a proper procedure for granting investment loans in accordance with international guidelines.

Implementation of these principles of bank investment lending for large-scale projects provides a favorable environment for managing credit risk.

We offer financing on the most favorable terms with an initiator’s contribution of up to 10%.

Securing investment loans

A characteristic feature of investment lending is that the loan cannot be blank (unsecured).

Consequently, banks will always use some form of securing investment loans, such as bank guarantees or collateral.

The main ways to secure investment loans are listed below:

• Collateral. Most often, the loan is secured by liquid assets owned by the borrower’s company, SPV or third parties. In cases of project finance, project assets can be used as collateral (for example, a facility under construction, equipment, materials, etc.)

• The guarantee can be used in various forms. Firstly, a payment guarantee is an unconditional obligation to transfer certain funds to the bank in case the borrower violates the terms of the agreement or other guarantee events. Secondly, it can be a project completion guarantee containing the sponsors’ obligation to continue the implementation of investment plans in certain circumstances. Thirdly, it may be an additional guarantee in the form of a bank deposit of the sponsor or the companies implementing the project.

• Assignment (cession) of claims and accounts to a third party in favor of the bank.

• Insurance agreement and other options.

The cost of an investment loan collateral for large projects may vary, but in general its ratio to a loan is set at 2:1.

The asset provided by the borrower as collateral must be highly liquid, suitable for long-term storage, and easily accessible for control.

Cultural property, charitable organization assets and certain other objects (as defined by the legislation of the host country) cannot be loan collateral.

One of the preferred options for financing a businesses and capital intensive projects is the so-called syndicated loan.

Companies often face the challenge of finding funds to finance large projects, especially when it comes to multi-billion dollar infrastructure, industrial or energy projects with a long construction period.

Syndicated loan and other types of external financing

According to the World Bank, financing large projects is a major challenge for fast growing economies.

Today a business can choose the following sources of project financing:

• Leasing.
• Factoring.
• Issue of shares and bonds.
• Bank loans, etc.

Syndicated loan and external financing instruments have different purposes and usually mean different costs for the companies that use them.

All of the above sources of project financing can be used in various combinations, based on the characteristics of a particular business.

Despite the existing possibilities of obtaining funding from various sources, loans should be the basis of external financing for projects, and other sources should be considered as complementary.

Any major project requires a significant flow of funds, which must flow on a clear schedule to ensure the continuous operation of numerous contractors and subcontractors, manufacturers and equipment suppliers. Depending on the schedule, companies can use different sources of funds at certain stages of construction or operation of the facility.

A bank loan is a common form of external financing for large projects.

Due to the variety of forms of lending, this tool can be easily adapted to the individual needs of a particular company. It is also one of the cheapest sources of capital.

Thanks to close cooperation with high net worth angel investors and some other European countries, CP Finance UK Finance can assist clients in obtaining a long-term syndicated loan on attractive terms.

A syndicated loan is a long-term loan usually used to finance a specific project.

The main features of syndicated financing are listed below:

• Long term maturity: usually several years, but there are known examples with maturities up to several decades, especially in the oil and gas sector, energy and environmental projects.

• The loan is intended to finance specific activities, including the construction of a new thermal power plant or laying of a gas pipeline.

• The funds are partially provided in the form of a revolving loan up to a certain limit established by the agreement.

A syndicated loan is a highly customized financial instrument, which means there are no strict rules.

Loan agreements are very flexible and take into account the specifics of each company, its financial health and market position.

One of the features of a syndicated loan is its wide application in project financing. In these cases, the loan amount often exceeds the value of the assets of the entire enterprise, therefore banking institutions tend to apply very restrictive loan agreements.

Obtaining a long-term syndicated loan exceeding the value of the company’s assets within the framework of project financing is possible if several conditions are met:

• The industry in which the borrower operates is very stable and shows good development prospects (for example, the renewable energy sector).

• The borrower receives guarantees from partners or the contract includes other conditions for recapitalizing the company in the event of certain events.

• The syndicated loan is secured not only by all the assets of the given company, but also by the future cash flows of the project.

In addition, banks usually reserve the right to unblock subsequent loan tranches only when certain events occur.

For example, the allocation of the next part of funds becomes possible after the completion of a certain stage of construction.

Such agreements are usually concluded for significant amounts of financing, incomparably larger than in the case of traditional loans received from one bank. This is explained by the concentration ratios established by law per organization and the internal policy of banks regarding financing a specific sector.

In the case of a large loan, one bank may not be able to provide sufficient funds to implement the project on its own.

The first reason is that the bank runs the risk of violating the legislation, which in some countries imposes strict limits on the concentration of funds for one legal entity or even a sector.

On the other hand, each bank develops its own procedures (some of them even more stringent than national laws) that govern how much funds can be allocated to a particular enterprise or sector. For the combination of these reasons, banks are showing a willingness to organize syndicates in large projects.

An exception to the rule is financing provided in recent years by some Chinese banks, for which it is generally considered unusual to finance large investments by a single institution. Examples of this approach are financing telecom projects in Europe and financing large mining sector projects in Africa and South America. However, these decisions are often made in a centrally controlled economy and are usually aimed at bringing certain products to this market (usually projects are associated with Chinese manufacturers).

In the European context, the amounts of syndicated loans range from several tens of millions to several billion euros.

The largest syndicated loans in the EU are usually issued in the energy and infrastructure sectors, where the loan amount can exceed 1 billion euros.

Such large amounts require special conditions for the distribution of funds and control over their subsequent use. These conditions are determined long before the conclusion of the loan agreement itself and require special preparatory measures.

The role of a financial advisor in obtaining a syndicated loan

High-quality preparation and organization of project financing is the first and most significant step in this process.

Company managers need to understand that preparation determines the subsequent success of the entire operation, and the better your company is adapted to the demands of the financial markets, the sooner and on better terms the process will be completed.

When your company first enters the syndicated finance markets with a major project, it is advisable to hire a financial advisor from the start. Such advisory functions are performed by renowned European and American banks such as Merryll Lynch, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Citibank, Deutsche Bank, RBS, West LB and many other world famous brands.

In addition, you can hire a financial advisor from companies that are professionally engaged in such activities, such as Deloitte & Touche, Ernst & Young, PricewaterhouseCoopers, TDI Corporate Finance, etc. Of course, the cost of such services from market leaders can be very high.

CP Finance UK FINANCE is ready to provide businesses with a full range of advisory services, including financial modeling, selection of optimal funding sources and assistance in obtaining a syndicated loan on favorable terms.

The financial advisor is usually selected through a competition announced by the company.

His role is to guide the company through the entire financing process in an optimal way. However, this is often limited to optimization of the financing structure without legal advice.

The consultant’s fee depends on the loan amount. For the largest loans of about 1 billion euros, this fee can amount to hundreds of thousands of euros. The advisor’s excellent knowledge of the financial market (both domestic and international) will be an advantage for the borrowing company.

The role of a financial advisor in obtaining a syndicated loan:

• Conducting a detailed analysis of the financial market. Choosing the most appropriate moment to enter the market to obtain a loan on the best terms.

• Selection of alternative sources of financing for the project, which will supplement or replace the syndicated loan. Determination of the most suitable banks or financial institutions to manage funds. Providing a list of institutions interested in the project.

• Professional assistance in drawing up a business plan at the request of the bank. Execution of official documentation and negotiations with interested parties.

Only companies that have experience in syndicated financing or are part of an international group using such financing can enter the market without the assistance of a financial advisor.

Stages of obtaining a syndicated funding for a large project

Preparing documents and arranging syndicated financing usually takes more time than applying for a loan from one bank.

A simple contract with standard market terms can take up to 3 months to prepare, while more complex options can take 6 months or more.

At this stage, a professional financial consultant helps to clearly divide the organizational process into several stages with deadlines for their implementation.

In general, the stages of obtaining a syndicated loan include:

• Hiring a financial advisor (optional).

• Selection of proposals, selection of the organizing bank for the consortium and signing of a mandate letter (a document authorizing this bank to organize a syndicate on agreed terms). In some cases, it is possible to sign an underwriting letter, a document guaranteeing a company to organize financing on agreed terms.

• Drawing up a project financing schedule, taking into account the specifics of a particular business, technical and other possibilities for the implementation of a particular project.

• Prepare a term sheet, a document that contains a funding request detailing the financial needs of the borrower.

• Preparation and signing of an information memorandum.

• A syndication process for arranging financing on specified terms.

• Selection and signing of an agreement with a law firm.

• Development of a loan agreement and approval of collateral.

• Obtaining the necessary official and legal approvals.

• Signing the agreement.

Below we describe the most important stages of syndicated financing.

Syndicated loan standard terms and conditions

Financing large projects through a syndicated loan requires the borrowing company to strictly comply with numerous requirements throughout the term of the agreement.

This includes informational, financial, legal or other obligations stipulated by the relevant contract.

Particular attention should be paid to the events of default prescribed in the agreement, which can jeopardize the position of the lender or borrower. In general, in the case of obtaining a syndicated loan, the borrower has to provide a little more information than a regular loan.

Disclosure obligations are limited to standard reports such as quarterly and annual reports, often requiring audits. You may need to provide much more detailed reports. The amount of this information is usually agreed upon at the stage of signing the contract. In addition, the company provides its budget and long-term business plan.

In addition to standard reporting on project finance, banks may require permission to change a company’s business profile, an obligation to apply for consent (waiver) in the event of a merger with another legal entity, the creation of subsidiaries, and many others.

Bank requirements depend on many factors, including the following:

• The size and position of the company in the market.
• The amount of the syndicated loan and its maturity.
• History of cooperation with agent bank.

The agent bank is the financial institution through which the company contacts the rest of the syndicate.

Thus, the bank acts as a coordinator between the borrower and the funding banks.

The agent charges a commission for this service. This commission is also negotiated before signing the loan agreement and usually does not exceed 100 thousand euros per year, which is quite a sufficient amount for a large syndicate.

Further responsibilities of the borrowing company should include maintaining certain financial ratios within specified limits.

The most common indicators in loan agreements include:

• Debt / EBITDA ratio. The lower the number, the better. The level considered safe is between 0 and 1, and the indicator above 2.5 is usually considered dangerous for the company. However, this scheme should not be considered final, because, as is the case with many other financial indicators, a lot depends on the industry.

• EBITDA / debt service. This figure should be high. An indicator below 1.5 is considered dangerous, and at a lower level, companies have problems servicing their current debt.

• Debt / equity. The lower the number, the better. It is used at the initial stage of implementation of large projects, when the company has not yet generated positive EBITDA. An indicator level above 2 is considered dangerous.

The syndicated loan provides stable financing at relatively low costs. Preparation in this case is extremely important, since the subsequent success of the entire operation often depends on professional planning and competent paperwork.

When using syndicated financing, companies should maintain certain ratios within specified limits. These actions are in the best interests of the business as it will minimize subsequent costs.
