Project Funding

by Joe Tufo

Frustrated with the inability of getting your project(s) funded?

We have six alternative funding sources that may be of interest and value to you:

1. GCBS – This is our preferred program. We discuss this every week on our live Wednesday Conference Call. This program will allow you to self-fund projects.

2. Ali – domestic, requires approx. $400,000 in fees for structuring a loan of $8,000,000. Funding takes about 45 banking days. Interest rate 6% interest only for 10 years.

3. LEAP – There are several articles on our websites. Based in Canada. Requires $1,000,000 minimum for structuring $10,000,000. 10:1 leverage. If you need $100,000,000 place $10,000,000. Funds in 10 banking days.

4. Offshore Panama – I’ve written about this before. Seasoned funding source. Requires 1% in escrow, funds $50,000,000+. Takes 75 to 90 banking days with complications could take 180 days.

Project Funding Required
(Euros)
600 million
750 million
1 billion
1.5 billion
3 billion

It is possible to organise funding for all viable infrastructure projects, etc with no upper limit. The minimum
application accepted for a Bank Guarantee is with a Face Value of €200 Million. Whether it is one project or
several, the aggregate funding required should not be less than €200 Million. Based on the example table,
above, all figures can be increased upwards on a pro-rata basis. However, projects can be grouped together,
thus providing the funding required for each separate project is no less than €20 Million. Our colleagues wrote
the protocols which have allowed this mechanism to be given to those countries that require funds, while we are
taking it to those countries and to ensure that they get their required funds, with no risk.

When you are looking to go ahead with the application for the Bank Guarantee, etc and set the procedure in
motion, then there are a number of documents that need to be prepared so that they can be signed when the
details have been discussed, etc. All we require from you will be:

ü

Government/Public Sector – the completed and signed application documents; a letter from the Minister
of Finance, on behalf of the Government, agreeing to the application and guaranteeing the transfer of
the Refundable Deposit. It should include the details of the bank which will be remitting the funds.

ü

Private/Commercial Sector - the completed and signed application documents; proof that you have the
refundable deposit, i.e. the original or certified copy of a current bank statement or the Tare Slip from
your bank, signed by two directors of that bank.

It is also necessary to know if the Applicant (beneficiary of the Bank Guarantee) is an individual person or a
company, etc. In both cases it will be necessary to have a copy of the passport of the signatory. Not necessary
for government applications.

The signed application for the Bank Guarantee along with the proof of the funds (not the funds themselves
at this stage) and a copy of the passport will be lodged upon receipt. Electronic copies should be sent to us
directly, once signed and at the same time the originals must be sent direct to London, by DHL. To assist you in
understanding all the documentation involved and to enable clarification, you will be provided beforehand with
copies and examples of all the documents involved. The originals will be completed as per those documents.

The mechanism has two protocols:

Face Value (Euros)

200 million (minimum)
250 million
350 million
500 million
1 billion

0.5% Refundable Deposit (Euros)

1 million
1.25 million
1.75 million
2.5 million
5 million

1. to raise funds by the placement of the Bank Guarantee in to the Euroclear market for trading and

2. for those funds to be placed into a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to be used against the accepted
projects, as per the cash flow analysis as stated within the Financial Schedules and the Business Plan

It is important to note that the Refundable Deposit is NOT an up-front payment. The basis of the mechanism
was started after the Second World War, when a vast number of countries needed vital rebuilding and new
infrastructure put in place. The placing of the Bank Guarantee on a financial market was the means to raising
vast sums of money. The financial return from the trading of the Face Value of the Bank Guarantee, over the
period of the contract, is what is used to fund the projects. This is NOT available in the public domain and we
have been privileged to select those that will benefit.

What has changed? Over the past couple of years, with the global breakdown of economies and the extreme
difficulties for banks and others to offer investment; something really did need to be done to get economies
running again. More importantly, it is the vital humanitarian projects which need funding. These are the
infrastructure projects that have been outlined for you.

The Beneficiary of the Bank Guarantee will have the total responsibility, via the SPV, as to how those funds are
paid in to the projects and this is why the Business Plans and the corresponding Financial Schedules have to be
accepted for the projects. The Beneficiary owns these funds and there is NO lien upon them.

An explanation about the Refundable Deposit and the mechanism involved is required. Within all the documents
that will be sent to you sent to you and the clarifications explained here, we have endeavoured to highlight what
actually happens. The bank and the fund provider for the face value of the Bank Guarantee are those that take
the risk, as it is their funds that are traded on the Euroclear Market, not the Applicant’s Refundable Deposit.

When the application is made, it is along with the Proof of Funds that the Applicant has the necessary funds
when these are asked for. At the point when the Application for the Bank Guarantee is accepted by the bank,
the Applicant or the Applicant’s bank must transfer the Refundable Deposit to a nominated account for the
Beneficiary. This is an account set up specifically for its transfer within the system when the Bank Guarantee
has been accepted by the Euroclear Market and it commences trading. It will normally take 20 days to go
through this process, but you can request an extension if necessary. If there is a problem with the Bank
Guarantee the bank (HSBC) and the Provider will endeavour to resolve the problem. If the problem cannot
be resolved immediately, or the Euroclear Market rejects the Bank Guarantee, in both cases the Refundable
Deposit is refunded in full.

Of course, in 99.9% of cases the Bank Guarantee is accepted. At the point when the Bank Guarantee is placed
on the Euroclear Market it starts to trade and the returns commence and are paid into the SPV, one week in
arrears and for the duration of the 40-week contract. The 40-week contract period is the minimum accepted by
the market. The work involved to place the trade and the gateway in has to be paid for. This comes out from the
Refundable Deposit. This is a special market and one we are privileged to have access to and it is expensive,
by comparison to other markets. But the returns are greater. It is here that you will understand that if the Bank
Guarantee is not accepted or, the intelligence and due diligence that is always ongoing does not accept the
applicant (for whatever reason), the Refundable Deposit is returned. From week one the returns from the trading
will more than have compensated for the small amount that the applicant has to show that they have available.

Requirements

Projects

To be accepted on to the Platform the fundamental requirement is that you have a project or projects where
funding is required. Not any project will be accepted. The nature of the projects scrutinised for acceptance
would be of the following type:

•

The projects offered should be of a humanitarian type. That is to say to create employment, create
industry and assist in the building up of a strong economy. The projects should include Infrastructure,
Housing, Schools, Hospitals, Manufacturing, Agriculture, Water and Waste Water, Transportation,
Energy including Renewable and Alternative Energy and, of course, Environment, etc.

The level of funding required for a project is of prime importance. It is here that we establish the minimum
funding requirements. An applicant for a Bank Guarantee does not have to be a project owner, but of course
he can be. The applicant can, alone, apply for a Bank Guarantee providing he is cooperating with others that
require funding for their own particular projects.

The required minimum Face Value of a Bank Guarantee is €200 Million. Therefore, one project that has a
required funding level of at least €200 Million, the project owner can be the applicant for a Bank Guarantee with
a minimum Face Value of €200 Million.

A number of projects can be grouped together, irrespective if there is one owner of the projects, or several
project owners willing to cooperate to receive funds from the Bank Guarantee. Suffice to say that the minimum
value of a single project, which has been grouped with others, must not be less than €20 Million. All projects
have to fall in with the types of projects, as mentioned above.

The applicant of the Bank Guarantee is the Beneficiary. This can be a consortium, if grouping the projects
together, or an individual. The Beneficiary is the owner of the funds, with NO lien. It is the Beneficiary’s
prerogative to charge for the use of his funds for the projects which he is not the project owner. However,
the funds can only be fed in to the accepted projects, based on their respective Business Plans, Executive
Summaries and Financial Schedules.

 

The key ingredients to funding success, in our experience, have been:

  1. A powerful Executive Summary of one to four pages. You can purchase our template and video review at http://www.joetufo.com/roadmap

  2. Bio’s of key personnel.

  3. A detailed use of funds broken down monthly for the first year and quarterly thereafter.

  4. A 5-year proforma and written Exit Strategy.
