Project Financing Support
Help preparing documents and following project financing approvals in Kazakhstan and Central Asia, connecting local banks with Chinese policy-based finance
We help clients prepare documents and follow every step of project financing applications in Kazakhstan and Central Asia — from the business plan to approval by a bank, leasing company or government development institution. Many technically sound projects stall at the financing stage rather than the engineering stage, often because documents are incomplete or do not match the requirements of a particular financing source. Our service fills exactly this gap.
Service Overview
When launching production projects in Kazakhstan and Central Asia, Chinese companies often need, in addition to local bank loans, to tap policy-based finance and export credit insurance such as the Export-Import Bank of China and China Export & Credit Insurance Corporation (Sinosure). We help clients map out the financing options available and prepare applications that meet each institution's requirements.
Scope of Services
- Preparing business plans and financial models to the requirements of specific institutions — local banks, leasing companies, Kazakhstan's Industrial Development Fund (IDF) and the Damu Entrepreneurship Development Fund
- Collecting and compiling a complete application package — technical, legal and financial documents
- Identifying and connecting with policy-based finance such as Export-Import Bank of China loans and Sinosure export credit insurance, combined with local financing
- Matching support programmes to project parameters — concessional loans, equipment leasing, guarantees and interest subsidies
- Following the application through to approval — answering institutions' questions, adjusting documents and keeping the review timeline on track
- Advice on the conditions and requirements of relevant local and Chinese industrial support policies
Our Advantages
- Two-way channels: We know both Kazakhstan's local banks and government funds and Chinese policy-based instruments such as the Export-Import Bank of China and Sinosure, and can help clients combine them.
- Independent adviser: We are not a bank, leasing company or fund and take no part in approval decisions; we are responsible only for the quality of project documents and moving the process forward.
- Continuity with earlier work: Financing support usually builds on the feasibility study (capex and return calculations are included in our EP+S services) and site selection results — exactly the completeness institutions look for when evaluating a project.
Which financing institutions do you work with?
Local banks and leasing companies in Kazakhstan and Central Asia, Kazakhstan's Industrial Development Fund, the Damu Entrepreneurship Development Fund, and Chinese policy-based finance such as the Export-Import Bank of China and Sinosure.
Can you help apply for Chinese export credit insurance?
Yes. We help compile the application and follow the communication process with Sinosure, alongside the local financing arrangements.
Can you guarantee financing approval?
No. Approval decisions rest with the institutions concerned; our job is to make sure project documents are complete and well prepared to improve the chances of approval.
Can we commission a business plan only?
Yes. This can be ordered as a stand-alone service without the full financing application follow-up.
