Fortis Merchant Banking can act as a one-stop-shop for organisations involved in capital-intensive public projects, including infrastructure. Our experienced PPP specialists can provide advisory services and arrange innovative financing structures at the lowest WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) wherever you do business.

Our clients

Fortis Merchant Banking's dedicated product teams serve private sector organisations participating in public service or infrastructure projects, using DFBMO (Design, Build, Finance, Maintain and/or Operate). We most often partner with:

• large construction companies 
• service companies (catering, cleaning, security, infrastructure operators, etc.) 
• private equity investors

Among the types of projects we support are government buildings, schools, prisons, hospitals and transport infrastructure (road, rail and light-rail, air and seaports).
