The public purpose
The economic case has to be read alongside service requirements, affordability and the responsibilities of the authorities and operators involved. The way a project benefits its users matters to its funding model.
AFII / Industry Perspective
Infrastructure & Public Projects
Financing and institutional advice for assets that serve communities over decades.
A Closer Perspective
Good infrastructure finance begins with the obligations of the asset, not just the cost of building it.
Infrastructure carries obligations that stretch far beyond construction. A financing decision must account for public priorities, delivery risk, operating costs and the people who will ultimately use the asset. AFII's background in government advisory and infrastructure finance informs how these projects are considered.
Roads, civic infrastructure, public facilities, transport-linked assets and utility-related programmes can all involve different contractual and funding arrangements. AFII's work is centred on the commercial and institutional questions that make infrastructure development possible.
Commercial Considerations
What Makes This
Sector Different.
Good advice begins with understanding the constraints and choices specific to the underlying business or asset.
The delivery structure
Procurement routes, risk allocation, milestones and the capacity of counterparties influence the terms on which capital might be available. Early clarity is particularly important where several public bodies or delivery partners are involved.
The operating life
Capital structure should remain credible once the initial construction phase is over. Maintenance, revenue collection, performance and eventual handover deserve as much attention as financial close.

Follow Substance.
A project can be well designed and still be difficult to finance. Understanding the institutions, the cash flows and the route to operation is what brings those two conversations together.
Explore Our ExpertiseProject and institutional assessment
AFII examines the project rationale, participants and practical readiness of an opportunity before considering the financing route. Public-public partnership and coordinated public-enterprise models may be relevant where they suit the mandate.
Funding and capital structure
Advice may consider the appropriate blend of sponsor capital, debt, institutional participation and project-specific arrangements, taking into account implementation risk and the intended duration of the asset.
Coordination through development
The value of finance advice is strongest when it connects the objectives of the project sponsor, public counterparties, technical teams and funding institutions into a workable decision process.
AFII
Every mandate has its own commercial reality. The best starting point is to understand that reality properly.
