First practice
Advisers to contractors
We started as financial advisers to European EPC contractors working in emerging markets, structuring the financing behind their proposals
Contractors call us about financing
They began bringing us the questions that export credit alone could not answer. Our network of lenders grew with every project
Equipment acquisition finance
Clients asked us to help finance their equipment purchases as well. It stays part of our contractor work
New practice
Brought in earlier
Governments and sponsors started to involve us before any financing was in place, to prepare and develop the projects themselves
Headquarters in Amsterdam
We moved close to a strong export credit system and to the suppliers our markets need
New practice
Dutch suppliers follow
Dutch suppliers and their buyers abroad began asking for the same structures. It became a practice of its own
Forward Angola
Our initiative for Angola, with a permanent presence in Luanda through Método Management Consulting
Three practices, one firm
Advisers on infrastructure development and finance
EPC+F and contractor finance
We identify and structure the financing for your projects, from first screening to disbursement
Project preparation and development
We get projects ready for financing in any market, and implement programmes with local partners
Dutch export finance
We connect Dutch exporters, buyers and contractors with Dutch export credit for projects abroad
