Infrastructure and project finance
Project finance funds large assets such as energy generation, infrastructure and major real estate, where lenders look to the project's own contracted cash flows to repay the debt. These deals depend on structure and documentation, so Atlas builds the funding case before approaching specialist lenders.
What it's used for
- Renewable energy and battery storage
- Infrastructure and utilities
- Large-scale real estate and mixed-use schemes
- Refinancing operational projects
What lenders look at
- Contracted revenues: offtake agreements, leases or concessions
- Construction risk and the contractor's standing
- Sponsor equity and track record
- The financial model and debt service cover
- Permits, grid or planning consents and key contracts
What you'll need to send
You don't need everything on day one. Start with what you have; Atlas tells you what's missing as the deal is underwritten.
- Project information memorandum or summary
- Financial model
- Key contracts and heads of terms
- Consents, permits and technical reports
- Sponsor background and equity commitment
How Atlas handles it
- Describe the deal. In your own words, online or on WhatsApp. Rough figures are fine.
- We underwrite it. Atlas checks the figures, asks the questions lenders will ask, and builds a complete pack.
- We match it. Your deal goes to the lenders on our panel whose criteria it fits, not to everyone.
- You compare terms. Lenders respond on the platform, and we help you through to completion.

Start a dealCommon questions
What size of project does Atlas work on?
Project finance lenders generally look for larger tickets than standard commercial lending. Atlas will tell you early whether your project is at a size and stage specialist lenders will review.
Does Atlas provide the equity?
No. Atlas arranges debt and is not a lender or investor. A clear sponsor equity position is usually needed before lenders engage.
Can early-stage projects apply?
Yes, but lenders typically need consents, key contracts and a robust model in place. Atlas helps identify what is missing before you go to market.
