How It Works:
You are:
A Project Owner / Project Principal or a Project Sponsor looking for Private Debt Project Funding.
We are:
DP FUNDING is a London boutique firm specializing in Private Debt Financing of large-scale projects. We help Project Owners or Project Sponsors secure Project Finance.
We are direct to Capital - Private Debt Lenders established in 2013 - open to funding projects from 250,000,000 US Dollars to 5,000,000,000 US Dollars and more (there is no upper cap for funding).
We give you:
We give you Direct Access to the Lenders and Project Funding, otherwise unavailable on the open market. We are direct to Capital. No daisy chains. No intermediaries. And No upfront fees.
​
The vast majority of projects fail and do not move forward due to rejection for finance by traditional lenders and banks. We solve this problem by giving Project Owners and Sponsors privileged direct access to Private Debt Lenders.
​
No borrower and no project are the same. This is why each project is considered and structured individually. We understand that time is of the essence when a good opportunity presents itself. We process your Funding Inquiry in a fast and efficient manner, helping you overcome the main obstacle to bringing your project to life: lack of funding.
We know how to talk to Capital. We know what Capital wants. We know what and how you need to present it to Capital. If your project is deliverable, we can guide you through the process and help you secure Private Debt Project Finance in a fast and efficient manner.
The process:
First, the Lenders determine if a project is a good fit by reviewing a pre-screening form and an Executive Summary / Project Teaser / Pitch Deck.
Once the Lenders determine a project is a good fit, we will invite Project Owners to an introduction call with the Project Intake Officer.
Then the Lenders will also review Team CVs / Experience, Proforma/IRR, Construction / Project Budget & Draw Schedule, Sources & Uses, Site Control Status, and Feasibility Study (if available).
Finally, if the Project Owners and the Lenders agree to proceed, the Project Funding process will start.
Please note that like any mainstream lender or bank, the Funders will thoroughly screen both the Project itself and Project Principals and Sponsors.

Complete project services:
Lenders are the loan originator, servicer, and debt and equity processor for our clients.
Thus, we also offer complete project services with a management group, a network of asset managers and advisors, and financial and advisory services.
Innovative Project Financing solutions:
The lenders are equipped to aid project owners in structuring off-take agreements and cultivating relationships with third-party entities that hold a financial interest in the project.
For instance, this may include negotiating with hotel operators or port operators or setting up forward sales contracts with the primary aim of securing upfront capital support that will serve as collateral for the project.
Examples of Funded Projects
Bespoke. Fast. Expert Solutions.
Lenders have collaborated with some of the biggest infrastructure project construction companies worldwide. We have also teamed up with reputable Private Equity investment groups and trusted Assets Monetizers.
Through these partnerships, we can aid in obtaining collateral either from or via our trusted partners, or the partners themselves may become part of a project.
However, it's important to note that the quality of the project will determine if we can provide financing assistance.
INNOVATIVE FINANCING SOLUTION:
$600 Million Green Resort Development
The resort development requires $600 million in financing. While the land is valued at $160 million, it may not be used as collateral due to its lack of liquidity, regardless of whether it is freehold or leasehold.
However, Lender can assist with Monetizing the land, which would provide project owners with a bridging loan or remortgage on the property. This loan could then be transferred in as collateral for our debt funding.
Furthermore, the Lender can bring in a reputable hotel operator willing to contribute upfront funding of around $50 million. This money could also be used as collateral for the project.
FUNDED:
$1.4 Billion Port Project in South America
Lender recently provided funding for a $1.4 billion port project in South America, where the project owner had committed 5 million US Dollars ($5M) only.
Through an innovative solution structured by Lender involving the port operators, we were able to assist the project owners in securing 100% project financing.
This means that Lender has helped the project owners obtain all the necessary funding for the project.
