13. A major advantage in winning deals
A key criteria in making effective
& focused marketing
A critical instrument in minimizing exposure
IN TODAY’S INFRASTRUCTURE WORLD,
FINANCING IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT
WITH TREMENDOUS ADVANTAGES
FOR BOTH THE CONTRACTOR AND
THE BUYER.
14. Financing deals today
require a combination of
several bodies
Banks &
Insurers
have less
appetite for
“challenging
places”
Tough constraints on
developing countries
Extreme regulations
(KYC, Compliance)
Borrowers in
developing
countries are
much more
sophisticated
FINANCING IN EMERGING MARKETS
IS BECOMING HARDER; THE USUAL
METHODS DON'T WORK ANYMORE
15. Committed only to the contractor
WE ARE -
Coming from the EPC industry
Making the difference between a lost
deal and a closed deal
Enabling effective marketing & clear
filtering
Keeping it always simple, fast and
creative
Working with a wide network of
insurers & lenders
