Large-scale Collateral Funding Infrastructure solutions designed to secure multi-billion debt tranches and accelerate essential public works.
Infrastructure—including energy grids, transport networks, and utilities—demands massive, long-term, and secure financing. Traditional sovereign or commercial lending for these projects is often insufficient or slow, jeopardising development timelines. IntaCapital Swiss provides specialised Collateral Funding Infrastructure solutions, leveraging the Collateral Transfer mechanism to transform future project contracts and sovereign guarantees into bankable security, which can ensure more efficient and timely access to necessary Funding Infrastructure.
Overcoming Financial Barriers in Infrastructure Development
The core challenge for Infrastructure projects is their sheer scale and long gestation period. Lenders require ultra-reliable security for debt that spans decades. Projects often involve complex political and regulatory risks, which traditional finance mitigates by demanding prohibitive levels of government guarantee or excessive equity from sponsors. The failure to secure reliable Collateral Infrastructure leads to high interest rates, delays in construction, and inability to meet public service deadlines.
Developers seeking reliable Funding Infrastructure need a mechanism that de-risks the debt, independent of political cycles. Our structured approach provides the necessary institutional Collateral Infrastructure to satisfy the rigorous security standards of major lenders, allowing sponsors to proceed with certainty and at a lower overall cost of capital.
How Collateral Transfer Empowers Infrastructure
The Collateral Transfer mechanism is ideally suited for Infrastructure because it provides a segregated, high-grade security layer that is distinct from the project’s own assets or political agreements. IntaCapital Swiss structures an agreement that mobilises a Bank Guarantee or SBLC from an institutional provider, placing it with the project’s Recipient Bank.
This structure can significantly improve the project’s bankability, providing essential external Collateral Infrastructure. This allows the Recipient Bank to extend the necessary long-term debt or revolving credit, ensuring Funding Infrastructure stays on schedule. Our Collateral Funding Infrastructure solutions are bespoke, designed to align with multi-year development and draw-down schedules.
Common Applications for Infrastructure
- Greenfield Project Debt: Securing the massive initial debt tranche required for new (greenfield) energy plants, toll roads, or public utilities where no operating revenue exists yet.
- Refinancing Expensive Bonds: Utilising the collateralised facility to retire high-yield project bonds or expensive initial construction debt, securing a more competitive loan for the operational phase.
- Government Contract Guarantees: Arranging performance bonds or guarantees to satisfy large sovereign or municipal contract requirements, ensuring developer compliance without tying up operational cash.
- Expansion and Modernisation: Securing capital for existing Infrastructure (brownfield) projects requiring upgrades, modernisation, or expansion of network capacity.
Advantages for Infrastructure Developers and Sponsors
- Lower Cost of Debt: Institutional security enables access to prime loan rates, significantly reducing the overall cost of capital over the project’s lifespan.
- Risk Mitigation: The external Collateral Infrastructure mitigates the financial impact for the lender regarding political, construction, and operational risks, enhancing project viability.
- Scale and Tenor: Access long-term, multi-billion Collateral Funding Infrastructure tailored to the decade-spanning nature of the assets.
- Streamlined Syndication: A pre-structured security package can make the project highly attractive to a lead lender or smaller syndicate, accelerating financial closure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Collateral Transfer suitable for large-scale Funding Infrastructure?
Its core strength is the ability to provide substantial, independent, and high-grade Collateral Infrastructure quickly. This solves the primary problem: it can significantly improve creditworthiness for a politically sensitive, long-term project to a large commercial bank.
Is this solution primarily for sovereign or private-public partnership (PPP) projects?
We work with both. The institutional security addresses the risk for commercial lenders, making the solution ideal for private entities needing to execute large-scale government contracts and PPP initiatives.
How does Collateral Funding Infrastructure affect the project’s credit rating?
The external security is highly valued by lending institutions. By mitigating the lender’s risk, the structure can positively impact the perceived bankability and, indirectly, the project’s ability to achieve favorable loan terms.
Can Collateral Transfer be used to secure multiple funding tranches over the project’s life?
Yes. The underlying Collateral Transfer agreement can be structured for multi-year facilities, allowing the project to draw down funds or adjust the financing as milestones are met.
