Project & financing eligibility
Nine qualification questions: does the project meet the engagement threshold, and which independent third-party financing routes are worth exploring? Indicative screening only.
Short answer
A commercial or industrial project from USD $250,000 upward fits the engagement threshold. Financing route follows scale, sponsor equity, revenue visibility and equipment origin: ECA cover for cross-border OECD-origin equipment, DFI or project finance above roughly USD 5–20M, and bank or lease facilities below that. This screen is indicative — it is not a credit decision and no institution is bound by it.
Screening result
At $1.5M of commercial or industrial scope, the project sits inside the range Global B2B Group works on.
Financing routes worth exploring
Structuring, legal and advisory cost is rarely proportionate below roughly USD 20M. Corporate borrowing is usually the cheaper route.
Read the route guideAn operating business with existing cash flow is the most straightforward borrower profile for a term facility against the equipment.
Read the route guideStandard, movable and resaleable equipment in this size band is well served by lessors, with the asset itself as security.

Carry this screen into a supplier RFQ
Payment milestones, Incoterms and documentation depend on the funding route. Attach this screen to the RFQ so supplier pricing matches how the project will actually be paid for.
Screening outputs only. Final scope, pricing and financing terms depend on technical specification, supplier quotations and lender approval.

Inputs that matter
- Project value (currency)
- Commercial use (qualification answer)
- Sponsor equity share (% of project cost)
- Revenue visibility (qualification answer)
- Operating history (qualification answer)
- Cross-border sourcing (qualification answer)
- Equipment origin (qualification answer)
- Required tenor (years)
- Documentation status (qualification answer)
How it is calculated
Engagement fit = project value >= USD 250,000 AND commercial or industrial end use. Financing routes are screened by rule: ECA requires cross-border sourcing, OECD-origin equipment and sponsor equity >= 15%; DFI/MDB requires scale and development impact; limited-recourse project finance requires scale, tenor >= 7 years, sponsor equity >= 20% and revenue visibility; commercial bank and leasing routes apply below those thresholds. Each route returns likely fit, possible fit or unlikely with the deciding reason.
What the result means
- Engagement fit — Against the USD 250,000 threshold
- Financing route verdicts — Likely / possible / unlikely with the deciding reason
- Documentation gaps
What is not included
- Not a credit assessment, an eligibility ruling, an offer or a commitment. Global B2B Group is not a bank, lender or financing institution.
- Every financing decision, term and disbursement is controlled by the relevant licensed institution.
- Country sanctions, KYC, AML and sector-specific restrictions are not screened.
- Single-currency model. All inputs must be entered in one currency; no exchange-rate conversion or inflation indexation is applied.
- Pre-tax model. Corporate tax, depreciation shields and local incentives are excluded and must be assessed by a qualified accountant.
What must be confirmed
This is a preliminary planning estimate. Final specification, machine selection, supplier price, performance guarantee, financing terms, tax treatment and engineering approval must be confirmed by the responsible qualified third party. Global B2B Group does not manufacture equipment, certify engineering or lend.

Frequently asked questions
What size project qualifies?
Global B2B Group works on commercial and industrial projects from USD $250,000 upward. Smaller catalogue purchases are better served directly by a distributor or manufacturer.
Does this checker approve financing?
Global B2B Group is not a bank, lender or financing institution. It may help eligible project sponsors prepare information and identify or approach independent financing providers. All financing products, due diligence, credit decisions, terms and disbursements are controlled by the relevant licensed institution. No approval or funding is guaranteed.
How are the financing verdicts produced?
By published market conventions: ECA cover generally requires cross-border sourcing, OECD-origin equipment and sponsor equity of at least 15% under the OECD Arrangement; limited-recourse project finance generally requires scale, a tenor of seven years or more, sponsor equity around 20% and revenue visibility. Every institution applies its own criteria on top.
Is my equity share the only thing that matters?
No. Revenue visibility, operating history, documentation quality and country context weigh at least as heavily. A strong sponsor with no feasibility study is still an unbankable file.
What happens after the screen?
You can carry the result straight into an RFQ so supplier pricing and payment milestones match the funding route, or raise an investor or partner inquiry. Financing itself is third-party introductions only.
