What comes next
If a company is being turned down for project finance or construction finance by their banks, and other similar institutions, hedge funds, private equity and all other forms of borrowing, be it debt or equity where do they go??

SureBond Project Management Services Price
We have all heard the expression, “there is no such thing as a free lunch”. This applies to Demand SureBond Project Management Services as much as anything else in the financial world. However, anyone who is concerned about the cost must decide if the price is worth getting the project off the ground or not.
On average the cost of leasing a Demand SureBond Project Management Services in year 1 is circa 12.5% – 13.5%.
When leasing a Demand SureBond Project Management Services there are three sets of costs, (The SureBond Project Management Services Price), the beneficiary must take into consideration
1. The fee charged by the Provider. A Demand SureBond Project Management Services is usually leased on a per annum basis. The fee charged by the provider to the beneficiary for this service is referred to as the Collateral Transfer Fee.
On average the cost per annum is 6%. However, the higher the investment grade rating of the issuing bank, the higher the Collateral Transfer Fee.
2. Cost of Borrowing – This represents the cost of one year’s lending by the lender to the beneficiary. Figures will be based on 12-month Libor or 12-month Euribor. These rates will vary from year to year as they are not fixed but subject to market fluctuations.
3. Arrangement Fees – These are fees charged by companies specialising in Collateral Transfer. They have a number of providers on their books and are therefore well placed to offer the beneficiary access to a Demand SureBond Project Management Services.
Typically, these fees are represented by legal fees, due diligence fees and booking fees. These fees are charged in the first year. If the beneficiary wishes to rollover the Demand SureBond Project Management Services into a second or third year, they will only be liable for the cost of borrowing and the Collateral Transfer Fee.
Conclusion
Many companies may feel that 13.5% in the first year is overly excessive compared to commercial lenders. However, if commercial lenders have rejected credit facility applications, as have private equity and other financial institutions then it becomes an excellent option.
So Collateral Transfer can be looked upon as a “Lender of the Last Resort”, and the pros outweigh the cons. Yes 13.5% is expensive, but the big advantage is that you can actually get the project off the ground. In all likelihood, a commercial bank may well lend against the project after the first year as it is now up and running. Another advantage is that you get to keep all the shares, with no loss of equity.
All in all, Collateral Transfer is a good deal. The first year is expensive but after that costs settle down and the project is off the ground. Do not be put off by the first year’s costs.
