STRUCTURATION
Financial Structuring & PPP Arrangement
Financial engineering, public-private partnerships and financing mobilisation.
Mission
The division specialises in structuring financing packages, bankable feasibility studies and Public-Private Partnership advisory. The division handles economic modelling, contractual security and the mobilisation of financial resources.
Four types of mandate
The division works on sovereign debt, private debt and corporate finance, non-recourse project finance (including PPPs), and grant fundraising.
Method
The division builds a dynamic financial model from the technical assumptions supplied by the Engineering division, computes the indicators lenders expect — IRR, NPV, debt service coverage ratio — and stress-tests the structure against rising commodity prices and construction delays. Documentation follows: anonymous teaser, information memorandum, secure virtual data room, then the roadshow to targeted funding windows and term sheet negotiation through to the lifting of conditions precedent.
The golden rule
BIPADE AFRICA never receives financing funds into its own bank accounts. Funds flow directly from the lender to the project or client escrow account. BIPADE invoices its success fees separately.
This strict separation of flows is a governance choice: it preserves the independence of the advice and the credibility of the structure before lenders.
