This causes problems for traditional asset funders to fund as the difference between the price paid & the value as a used plant from day one can be massive . Traditional asset funders will then try to bridge this gap by taking very big deposits , personal guarantees of shareholders & directors , charges ,liens & debentures over other assets of the business & income streams which sometimes is just not possible. Asset funders can also struggle with part payments & deposits to suppliers or want repayment programs that start as soon as the plant is purchased not when the project starts earning & can create cash flow difficulties .The above are the reasons I have seen many highly profitable projects not get off the ground ! B&Y provide a unique solution in that they fund the whole project not just the asset so they fund all the other costs involved in the project i.e. civils , electrics, access roads, planning etc as well as the asset & provided the due diligence stacks up they will fund up to 90% of the total project costs . Their current programs lie in the region of £1 to £98million. In a nutshell: • They fund all aspects of a “project” not just the asset • They can make part payments to suppliers such as deposits etc. • They can fund the project over periods up to 10 years • They don’t take liens , charges & debentures over the clients existing asset base • Repayments can be structured to start to fit with income streams .” Show less
