Project Finance is different to any other financing structures, all of which are predicated on assets/collateral, balance sheet and/or forecasts in a business plan or prospectus. Project Finance is uniquely predicated on the financial stability and track record of the party contracted to buy the output from the built project, and on the counterparties involved in its planning, development and construction. In short, this amounts to lending against revenues from a yet-to-be-built asset, something which mainstream banking regulations prohibit.
