Equity Financing
Strategic equity partnerships that reduce debt-service pressure while providing the capital needed to bring your sustainable infrastructure project to life.
What is Equity Financing?
To fully finance a project, often "skin-in-the-game" is required by participating debt financiers. Selling equity in your project reduces debt-service pressure by eliminating regular principal and interest payments on that portion of capital.
GB Investment Holdings works with active investment funds worldwide to connect your project with equity investors who understand sustainable infrastructure and have reduced aversion to equity risk exposure. Our expertise in project management support ensures proper structuring before, during, and after financial close.
