Introduction

Raising funds for a project is not as easy as writing a business plan. There are many more important elements involved in successful completion of a funding. It requires a thorough evaluation and analysis of several aspects that are constituent to the project itself, to the specific country where it is located and the project owner.


Project funding is usually applied to conduct a thorough study in order to secure the viability of the said project. It is a systematic approach applied by professional consultants to assist project principal in successfully raising funds for their project.


It is developed in such a way that will assist lenders, investors and project owners to safely and successfully accomplish the realization of a project and funding in this borderless world. Project funding is unique business model for investment and risk management in emerging economies.


This service provides a structural solution to off-balance-sheet financing. It requires a rigorous and disciplined approach to valuation, risk assessment and capital raising. In contrast to more traditional forms of corporate finance, project finance enables large scale enterprises with little or no history to create meaningful financial leverage, while tapping many sources of capital available.


Project funding services are only for people who are committed and serious in seeking funding for their project. Not every enquiry we receive is suitable for funding and we actually reject more than 85% of cases where we believe it would be impossible to arrange financing.


For Pegasus Capital Group (PCG) to consider your case it must:


Be an economically viable project.

Be located in a country where we can work (not all countries are possible).

You must fully understand the complexity of cross border funding.

Have credible promoters.

The principal must have a strong background in the industry or must financially afford to pay the initial facilitation fee/retainer which is payable in advance. There is a reasonable amount of time involved in order to complete the funding successfully.


It is essential for you to understand the costs involved to prepare your case for international funding and if you can actually afford to continue with the application. This will ensure that neither of us are wasting our valuable time.


Kindly refer to the our fee structure (at the end of this page) in order to have a clear picture on the facilitation and success fees.
