Next steps for financing partners

Step 1 · buyer
Confirm scope, sponsor and country
Fix the borrower entity, project location and target commercial operation date.
Step 2 · coldmatch
Feasibility & bankability review
Focused review of CAPEX assumptions, throughput and OPEX before approaching lenders.
Step 3 · coldmatch
Prepare a vendor-neutral technical envelope
ColdMatch structures the specification (capacity, refrigerant, energy baseline) so lenders can compare offers on identical scope.
Step 4 · buyer
Assemble the financing readiness pack
3 years financial statements, sponsor bios, offtake or throughput evidence, and any existing feasibility work.
Step 5 · coldmatch
Match to relevant financing partners
We introduce your file to instruments that fit — ECA, DFI, green loan, leasing, vendor credit — without exclusivity.
Step 6 · lender
Indicative term sheets & due diligence
Selected lenders return indicative pricing, tenor and covenants; final terms follow full due diligence.
