Project financing calculators
How much loan does an industrial project need, and can cash flow repay it? Start with the project simulation, then refine the loan, coverage (DSCR) and debt capacity. Results are indicative planning estimates; Global B2B Group is not a lender, and any financing introduction is to independent partners. Projects qualify for review from USD 250,000, free for buyers.

Straight answer
Does Global B2B Group provide financing?
No. Global B2B Group is not a bank, lender, credit provider or financing institution, and it does not lend, underwrite, broker, guarantee or price financing. For us, financing is an optional step, and it happens only with the buyer's consent, after the project is defined, the RFQ is built and proposals are compared. What we do is prepare the project so a lender can assess it — scope, specifications, comparable quotations, CAPEX structure and supporting documentation — and, if the buyer chooses, introduce the buyer to independent institutions. Those institutions alone approve the project and set and approve all terms, pricing and disbursement; Global B2B Group does not approve terms, and no outcome is guaranteed.
What this hub is
An independent, lender-neutral knowledge base explaining how ECAs, development banks, project finance, trade finance, leasing and vendor credit actually work for industrial projects from USD 250,000 upward.
What we do on a live project
Structure the requirement, build a professional RFQ, identify qualified suppliers, assemble bank-ready documentation and — only if the buyer asks and consents — introduce the buyer to independent financing institutions.
What we never do
Lend money, promise approval, quote rates on a lender's behalf, approve or negotiate terms, rank institutions in exchange for payment, or take a fee from a lender for an introduction.
Decision framework
Match the funding question to the project evidence
Financing routes are not interchangeable. An equipment purchase, a construction-heavy plant and a short-term inventory cycle produce different repayment questions. Start with the asset, buyer's balance sheet, operating cash cycle, supplier location and source of repayment; then test which independent institution might have a relevant mandate. This comparison is educational, not a ranking or an indication of eligibility.
| Route to assess | Question it addresses | Evidence to prepare |
|---|---|---|
| Corporate loan or equipment lease | Can the buyer repay from its existing business, or use an asset-linked payment structure? | Accounts, equipment specification, installed cost and operating cash flow. |
| Export credit or vendor credit | Does the equipment origin and transaction structure fit a provider's rules? | Supplier country, comparable quotation, delivery terms and buyer credit information. |
| Project finance or development finance | Can the defined project support an independent risk and repayment assessment? | Sponsor equity, permits, total CAPEX, contracts, revenue evidence and downside model. |
| Trade or working-capital finance | How are goods, receivables and payment timing bridged? | Purchase orders, payment terms, inventory cycle and counterparties. |
Qualify the request before modelling a loan
Identify the buyer or authorised representative, country, project stage, total installed CAPEX and requested financing separately. State sponsor equity and whether it is evidenced or only planned. An urgent RFQ, large budget or supplier capability submission does not establish financing readiness. Buyer service is free for B2B projects from USD 250,000; GBG is not a lender, and human review does not promise a provider introduction or approval.
Prepare country-specific briefs for Egypt industrial financing, Kenya project RFQs and UAE industrial procurement. Concept-stage aquaculture belongs with FishMatch specialist research, not a claim of funding readiness.
The sequence before an introduction
First the buyer fixes the technical scope and separates equipment from civil works, utilities, freight, taxes, commissioning and initial working capital. Next, comparable supplier responses establish which costs and performance obligations are covered. The sponsor provides the company records, equity plan, demand assumptions and permits needed for an independent review. An assumptions register distinguishes sourced documents from estimates. Only with the buyer's permission does a relevant provider receive the assembled file, request its own due diligence and decide whether to offer terms.
For the evidence trail and documentation checklist, read industrial project bankability. Use the debt-capacity tool for indicative scenarios and the CAPEX approval guide for the buyer's internal decision. Global B2B Group works on industrial projects from USD 250,000 upward; it does not provide or approve finance.
