Overview

What is Project Finance?

Project Finance is a non-recourse or limited-recourse financial structure where debt is paid back from the cash flows generated by the project itself, rather than solely relying on the existing balance sheets or physical assets of the project sponsors. In South Africa, project finance is central to funding high-impact capital developments across Energy (renewable IPPs, commercial solar), Technology, ICT Infrastructure (fibre rollout, towers, data facilities), Mining & Beneficiation, Property/Land development, and industrial infrastructure.

SaVi Ventures acts as your fundraising broker. We package your transaction model, structure the credit memorandum, and place the deal with our accredited network of credit partners, development finance institutions (DFIs), and specialized infrastructure debt funds.
