Project, trade and contract finance. Worldwide.

Empyrean Capital arranges project finance, trade finance, contract finance and monetization solutions for sponsors, exporters and intermediaries — structuring each mandate around the economics of the underlying transaction.

Capabilities

What we arrange

Four disciplines. In each, the same question: what does this transaction generate, and what can that support?

Project Finance

Long-dated capital for assets that generate their own repayment.

Empyrean arranges limited- and non-recourse structures for infrastructure, energy and industrial projects, where repayment is carried by the cash the asset itself produces rather than by the sponsor's balance sheet.

  • Greenfield and brownfield development
  • Construction through to take-out
  • Refinancing of existing project debt
  • Sponsor equity and mezzanine layers

Trade Finance

Working capital that moves with the cargo.

Instruments and facilities that close the gap between shipment and settlement, so an exporter is not financing its buyer and an importer is not paying before it can sell.

  • Documentary letters of credit and standby LCs
  • Pre-export and post-import facilities
  • Receivables discounting and forfaiting
  • Inventory and warehouse-receipt structures

Contract Finance

Capital raised against a signed obligation to pay.

Where a creditworthy counterparty has contracted to pay, that contract can carry finance. Empyrean structures facilities against awarded contracts, supply agreements and offtake.

  • Awarded public and private contracts
  • Supply and offtake agreements
  • Performance and advance-payment support
  • Mobilisation and execution capital

Monetization

Turning held instruments into usable liquidity.

Assessment and structuring around bank instruments and receivable assets, with a candid read on what is actually monetizable and what is not.

  • Bank guarantees and standby LCs
  • Sovereign and corporate instruments
  • Structured note and receivable positions
  • Feasibility review before any mandate

The structure

How a financed transaction is assembled

Every mandate resolves into the same question: what performs, who pays, and what stands behind the payment. The diagram is deliberately plain — if a transaction cannot be drawn this simply, it usually cannot be financed either.

Empyrean sits between the parties as arranger. Capital comes from the funder; repayment comes from the transaction.

Submission

What we need to look at a file

  1. The transaction. What is being financed, for whom, and in which jurisdictions.
  2. The amount and tenor. How much, drawn over what period, repaid from what.
  3. The counterparties. Who pays, who performs, and what their standing is.
  4. The security. Assets, contracts, instruments or receivables available to support it.
  5. The status. What is signed, what is conditional, and what is still being negotiated.

Arranger, not lender

Empyrean structures and arranges. Capital comes from funders and institutions.

No fee to read a file

Submission and preliminary review cost nothing and bind neither side.

An answer, not a wait

A transaction that will not finance is returned early, with the reason.
