Securing financing for individual projects is the cornerstone of our work. The long-term success of any project requires establishing an appropriate capital structure and aligning the objectives of funders with those of the project. Since providers of concessionary and commercial capital often have different objectives, bringing them together in a unified capital structure is essential.
The return profile of conservation projects can vary widely and usually encompasses both monetary and non-monetary returns. Conservation project funders are more varied than typical company investors and may include private grant providers, impact investors, government and multilateral institutions, in addition to commercial investors.
The core of capital structuring in the nature and climate project space involves blending concessionary capital with the appropriate amount of debt and/or equity to enable different types of funders to co-invest. Seneca understands the requirements of various types of investors and can help design the appropriate financial structure.
