A Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) is a legal entity created specifically for a given project. It isolates project risks from the company's other activities and provides a dedicated financing structure for investors. The SPV is an essential tool in complex project financing, particularly in infrastructure, energy and mining sectors.

Project Finance is a financing method where lenders provide funds based on the project's future cash flows rather than shareholder creditworthiness. This mechanism makes it possible to finance important projects without impacting the sponsors' balance sheet. It is based on rigorous risk analysis, optimized financial structuring and strong guarantees of future project revenues.
Public-Private Partnerships (PPP)
Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) are collaborations between the public sector and private companies to design, finance, build and operate infrastructure or services of public interest. This model allows governments to benefit from private expertise while controlling costs and timelines. PPPs are commonly used for roads, hospitals, schools, power plants and distribution networks.

Due Diligence is a comprehensive audit process conducted before an investment or financing. It assesses the financial, legal, technical, environmental and tax aspects of a project.
