Finance Application Procedure
Project Finance Application Procedure:
Initial enquiries concerning project finance must be made via our online Project Finance Enquiry form.
The online Project Finance Enquiry form enables you to quickly provide us with concise information about your project without your having to take time to complete a comprehensive application form with details of a project which may not interest us.
Our analysts evaluate projects individually, so if you have more than one project you should complete one copy of the form for each project for which you are seeking funding.
After you have submitted the Project Finance enquiry form, our analysts will quickly determine whether your project is likely to be of interest to us or not.
If our analysts determine that your project is unlikely to meet our criteria, we will quickly contact you, usually within a day or two, to inform you that your project is not for us.
But if our analysts determine that your project may be of interest to us we will contact you requesting additional detailed information about your project, usually by asking you to complete a comprehensive no-obligation written Project Finance Application form which we will email to you. When you return this written Project Finance Application form, our analysts will produce a recommendation for our executives' consideration. If our executives accept our analysts' recommendation you will be sent detailed information proposing a way forward.
Please note that:
We quickly respond to all enquiries providing they are submitted via our online Project Finance Enquiry form and the form is correctly completed.
We do not delegate executive time to an enquiry until your project, as expressed in your fully completed written Project Finance Application form, has been thoroughly evaluated by our analysts.
To ensure our executives do not waste time on unrealistic enquiries we do not enter discussions in any form until we have a full understanding of your project's potential and risks. We therefore do not offer meetings, hold telephone discussions or return telephone calls until we have thoroughly evaluated your project.
Please do not send us additional communications during the application phase as it delays the application process.
We do not finance projects valued at less than $5,000,000, we do not finance acquisitions and we do not finance projects in Afghanistan, Iraq or Nigeria.
All our official communications are in English. We do not offer a translation service.
Please read the notes below to ensure that you fill in the online form correctly.

Leisure Project FinanceIn alliance with our associates, we believe we are global leaders in providing leisure project finance for the tourism, hospitality, construction and entertainment industries. Over the last two decades our associates, who are among the leisure industry's leading financiers and who specialize in providing international project finance in the form of equity and loans for the leisure industry, have raised over two billion US dollars ($2,000,000,000) in investment capital for tourism and leisure projects in almost 60 countries worldwide. To be considered for financing, a project should usually exhibit at least one unique selling proposition. In those cases where a project will be operating in an environment where its market is shared with one or more competitors, rather than enjoying a dominant market position, the project should usually have two or more unique selling propositions. In addition to having one or more unique selling propositions, a project must be able to demonstrate that it can operate without external financial support and it must be able to demonstrate an acceptable internal rate of return. If we determine that a proposed project cannot meet these financial targets, we generally conclude that it does not warrant development. Neither we nor our associates charge up-front finance finder or finance introduction fees, we are strictly success-fee based. When we make an offer of finance to a client, the client is entirely free to accept or decline the terms of the finance offer. There is no penalty for declining the offer. If the client chooses to accept the finance offer we are paid a success fee determined as a percentage of the project finance we provide. If the client chooses to decline the finance offer, the client owes us nothing. We regard our terms as being highly competitive. For most of the projects for which we provide finance, we also research and compile the marketing feasibility study, financial feasibility study, business plan, development budget, architectural master plan, environmental impact assessment, social impact assessment, information technology review and we perform the appropriate due diligence procedures. Project financiers are no longer prepared to consider projects based on financial forecasts by accountants who have never developed, operated or owned a leisure or tourist industry business and who have little or no experience of leisure industry projects. This is due to a number of project failures in the leisure and tourist industries where the projects, when operational, failed to achieve their model predictions. By contrast, as experienced international project developers, our financial feasibility studies and cash flow projections are based on cash flow models derived from twenty-five years of experience of leisure project development, ownership, management and operation, not on unsupported assumptions. We also finance construction and residential projects and engage in joint ventures. If you would like to inquire into the possibility of raising finance for your project through Developers International please go to ourInternational Project Finance Assessment page, complete and submit the brief online form and we will get back to you with our response as soon as we have considered the information you have provided. We typically respond within one working day. To see a list of some of the types of projects with which we can help you, please see our International Projects page. To see a list of some of the territories where we may be able to assist you, please see our International Project Territories page. If you are seeking international project finance for a development projectPlease note that we do not provide finance for projects valued at less than five million US dollars ($5,000,000). |
