Financial Guarantee Overview and Facilitation Guide

Lacking perspective?  Feeling a bit lost?  No worries.  Here are fundamentals of what, why and resources for deciding if a finance guarantee going to be worth it.  Definitions & Orientation

Gaining Sponsor/Banker Commitment to Deliver a Qualifying Guarantee

When developers lack the financial depth to guarantee their own project, we recommend they involve a “sponsor” (or backer) such as a well-established EPC firm or General Contractor hired to design/build the project.  Or, contract with In3 to do this for your well-qualified project/portfolio.  Why?  Sponsors initially have concerns about this arrangement, whether or not expressed, such as

1. They do not yet know the funder and are initially lacking a direct relationship.  How do they know the funding will arrive in a timely manner?
2. What if payments to the sponsor (sometimes a vendor, or contractor, such as an EPC/GC firm) don’t start or continue per the established schedule?
3. What if the developer doesn’t perform?
4. Concern that the guarantee could be or will be called, or that its issuance could cause undue or uncontrolled risk exposure to the guarantor.  Download 3-page problem-solving guide (PDF)
