California Bridge Lenders

In the past year alone, we discussed over 236 PPP/PFI contracts in 39 different nationalities. Our deep knowledge of the interests of all parties involved in public-private partnership (PPP) engagements acts as a catalytic force for implementation - one of the reasons why we are recognized by companies such as Infrastructure Journal and Partnerships Bulletin as a premier provider of engineering services worldwide.

Creditors can rely on us to identify both technological and economic risk from the start. As a result, we are able to provide a broad competence basis in PPP/PFI related engineering consulting issues, comprising purchasing skills, government infrastructure development, industry-specific know-how and facility manager. Our broad and deep understanding of our global business allows us to see risk from all angles and to help lenders achieve viable, profitable banking deals as quickly and effectively as possible.

Creditors and financiers of PPP/PFI engagements say that our special due diligence to quantify exposure is vital to accelerate the completion of their transactions. Our riskbased stance is strict and we often work with the sponsoring teams before the tech and business packages are available for evaluation to pinpoint major exposures.

At this early phase of business growth, we identify and solve economic hurdles and ensure that there are no make-or-break banking difficulties once the technology has been defined. As well as problem identification, our teams pride themselves on providing our customers with best practices and practical knowledge of business conditions to help them find the right answers to their needs.

As a rule, we take into account between 100 and 200 technological and economic hazards and measure them in seven different ways, according to the industry and complex nature of the project: Our relationship with most lenders is extensive, and our knowledge and sophisticated positioning in the markets enable us to manage the interaction of creditor groups from both a technological and business point of view.

With a long tradition and over 50 years of experience in developing internationally, we are the leading advisors for large scale financing and venture capital firms. With our extensive understanding of the core questions, sensibilities and information needs of ECAs, we are well equipped to offer the necessary security to ensure the financing of developing country lending operations.
