Project Issuers

Secure Faster, More Cost-Effective Infrastructure Finance

At Estates and Infrastructure Exchange (EIX), we understand the challenges infrastructure project sponsors face in securing timely, flexible, and competitively priced financing. Traditional bank-led syndications can take 9-12 months, are often rigid in their structures, and come with high risk premiums.

Through Private Placement Bonds, Repayment Bond Guarantees (RBGs), and access to a liquid secondary market, EIX offers a streamlined, market-driven approach that enables project issuers to secure capital in as little as 12-16 weeks—with lower financing costs and greater structuring flexibility.

Faster Funding – Lower Cost – Stronger Investor Confidence
