Strategic financing focus
Understand the financing pressure through the lens of the industry.
The starting point is the business model, operating cycle and funding requirement—not a generic facility.
The project cash-flow cycle
Review the timing between supplier, subcontractor and project costs and the expected timing of customer receipts.
Payment terms & obligations
Consider contract terms, retention, progress claims and other obligations that affect available working capital.
Performance-bond requirements
Understand the bond requirement and the surrounding project milestones before determining the financing approach.
The Brokerage methodology
Understand the project before deciding how to finance it.
The financing requirement is considered alongside the contract, timing, existing facilities and supporting information.
- 01
Project requirement
Clarify the contract, project stage, mobilisation needs and the amount and timing of funding required.
- 02
Cash-flow timing
Map major costs and expected receipts so the timing pressure is visible rather than treated as a single funding number.
- 03
Existing position
Review existing facilities, repayment commitments, guarantees and other obligations that sit around the project.
- 04
Possible route
Once the situation is clearer, discuss relevant financing paths across banks and financiers in our local and overseas network.

A larger contract is awarded
The project may create a working-capital requirement before the associated receipts arrive.

Costs arrive before collections
