Finance a contracted project

A strong tenant or customer can change the financing conversation when the contract creates dependable payments. A lease, capacity agreement and purchase order do not transfer the same risk. Identify who owes what, when payment can stop and who completes and operates the project before selecting an instrument.

The decision

Which payments can a provider rely on, and which risks still belong to the project?

The customer name is not the credit analysis. The signing entity, guarantee, firm term, performance obligations and termination provisions all matter. Expected demand and unsigned customer interest should remain separate from committed revenue. Do not assume a lease-based structure fits every customer contract.
