Mega Project Loan Plan
The Mega Project Loan Plan is the flagship, large-scale financing product in LendRoam’s portfolio. It is designed for transformative, high-impact initiatives that extend beyond the scope of traditional corporate financing. Mega projects typically involve billions in infrastructure, energy, industrial, or multi-sector investments, requiring years of planning, development, and execution.
Unlike other loan plans tailored for SMEs, expansion, or national rollouts, the Mega Project Loan Plan is dedicated to nation-shaping and globally significant initiatives such as:
Cross-country transportation corridors.
Large-scale renewable or conventional energy plants.
Nationwide housing schemes.
Smart city developments.
Integrated industrial zones or seaports.
Because these projects require enormous upfront capital and extended repayment schedules, the Mega Project Loan is denominated in United States Dollars (USD), offering international credibility, stability, and global investor alignment.
2. Eligibility Criteria
Mega projects demand rigorous due diligence and only qualify under strict conditions.
Borrower Profile:
National or multinational corporations.
Public–private partnerships (PPPs).
Government-backed consortia or joint ventures.
Requirements:
Comprehensive feasibility studies and environmental/social impact assessments (ESIA).
Legal approvals, concessions, or government guarantees.
Strong governance structure with proven technical capacity.
Documented funding plan that includes equity contributions alongside debt financing.
Audited accounts and a clean record of compliance.
3. Loan Structure and Terms
The structure reflects the scale and duration of mega projects:
Repayment Interval: Semi-annual or annual, tied to project revenues or government off-taker agreements.
Total Installments: Very long tenor, ranging from 10–20 years depending on project size.
Repayment Model: Grace period during construction, followed by amortized repayments.
Application Fees: Significant, to cover legal, technical, and compliance reviews.
Penalty Model: Fixed and percentage-based penalties apply, though force majeure clauses allow flexibility during extraordinary global disruptions.
4. Repayment Analysis (Illustrative)
Mega projects usually have multi-phase construction and revenue models:
Phase 1: Grace period (3–5 years) during construction, where only interest is serviced.
Phase 2: Repayment begins when the project generates revenue (e.g., toll collections, power sales, housing rents, port fees).
Phase 3: Gradual scaling of repayments, often supported by government guarantees or public subsidies.
This approach ensures long-term sustainability, avoiding repayment burdens before the project achieves commercial operation.
