Project Finance

You can fund your projects at the best conditions in the market by partnering with Fortis Merchant Banking's international teams of dedicated project finance specialists. Project finance is an attractive solution for companies wishing to reduce their risks by funding a project off-balance sheet. The debt is repaid out of the project's cash flow, and recourse is limited since the financial structure is protected.
