Brownfield Project Finance.
Financing a brownfield expansion project requires debt structured against the project's own future cash flows and construction risk, not just the sponsor's balance sheet — sized to the project's specific economics and timeline.
Project Cost Funding · Construction-Linked Disbursement · Long-Tenor Debt
Where This Applies
- An existing operation is being expanded or a facility upgraded, with incremental capacity or output.
- Lenders can underwrite against the existing operation's track record alongside the expansion's projections.
- Incremental cash flow from the expansion needs to be assessed separately from existing operations.
- Existing lending relationships may already exist and need to be factored into the new facility's structure.
How We Approach It
Because an existing operation is already running, we underwrite the expansion's incremental cash flows against the base business's real track record, sizing tenor and moratorium to the ramp-up specifically rather than the whole facility from scratch.
Why EquiFin
- Independent advisory — we structure and negotiate, we do not lend ourselves.
- 60+ active lender relationships across PSU banks, private banks, NBFCs and private credit funds.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is brownfield project finance?
Brownfield Project Finance is long-term debt structured against the cost, construction timeline and projected cash flows of a brownfield expansion project, rather than the sponsor's existing balance sheet alone.
Is brownfield project finance easier to raise than greenfield?
Often yes, since lenders can underwrite against the existing operation's track record alongside the expansion's own projections, reducing pure construction and ramp-up risk.
