Working Capital & Short-term Financing


Description: Working capital facilities may be requested to obtain short-term liquidity or fund current assets. Such financing may be structured in a variety of ways including receivables financing, payables financing and loans linked to the purchase of inventory.

Cost: An initial fee, usually expressed as a percentage of the Loan. The interest rate may be a fixed rate, or a floating rate.

Project & Long-term Financing


Description: Typically, such loans are linked to the financing of an income-earning project with a creditworthy sponsor.

Cost: An up-front work fee, an initial commitment fee and an annual loan administration fee, each usually expressed as a percentage of the Loan. The interest rate may be a floating rate or a fixed rate. The floating rate is usually based on the local Treasury Bill rate – in the case of local currency borrowing, or LIBOR – in the case of foreign currency borrowing.
