Energy & Natural Resources


Energy Finance & Commercial Development

Energy and natural-resource businesses operate in capital-intensive markets where financing requirements can extend across development, equipment, procurement, transportation and international trade.

Energy & Natural Resources

Energy finance solutions for businesses and companies.

Financing Energy and Resource Projects

Energy projects often require significant capital before generating revenue. Developers may need funding to advance new projects, while established operators may require finance for expansion, equipment or working capital. Commodity businesses may need trade finance to purchase, transport or sell resources internationally.

Depending on the transaction, financing solutions may include project, structured, trade, working capital and corporate finance, as well as instruments such as Bank Guarantees and Standby Letters of Credit.

Project Finance for Energy Developments

Project finance can be relevant where substantial capital is required to develop or expand an identifiable commercial project. A financing assessment will consider the project’s development stage, sponsor contribution, construction plan, contracts, projected revenues, counterparties and repayment source.

For larger developments, financing may combine project, trade and working capital facilities, with Bank Guarantees or Standby Letters of Credit supporting specific contractual or payment obligations.

Oil, Gas, Mining and Commodity Finance

Natural-resource transactions often involve cross-border purchases, sales, transportation and contractual commitments. Financing may support supply contracts, equipment requirements and the movement of commodities across international markets.

Trade and commodity finance may suit defined transactions, while project or structured finance may be more appropriate for larger asset developments.

Development Finance and Growth Capital

Development finance can support feasibility studies, permitting, engineering and other costs incurred before construction or commercial operations begin, helping advance projects towards investment readiness and full-scale financing.

Growth capital may also support businesses expanding operations, developing new assets or preparing projects for larger-scale financing.

Corporate Finance for Energy Businesses

Established energy and resource businesses may require finance for expansion, acquisitions, equipment, refinancing or broader corporate requirements. Corporate finance can provide funding based on the business and its financial position.

The appropriate financing structure will depend on the company’s requirements, financial position, cash flows and intended use of funds.

Trade Finance and Working Capital

Trade and working capital finance can support short-term requirements such as inventory, supplier payments, transportation, delivery and operating expenses, particularly where there is a defined underlying transaction and clear commercial purpose.

Facilities may also support inventory, equipment, supplier payments and other operating requirements, depending on the transaction and underlying cash flows.

Bank Guarantees and Standby Letters of Credit

Bank Guarantees and Standby Letters of Credit can provide contractual or payment support where counterparties require additional security. They may be relevant to supply contracts, performance obligations, advance payments and other commercial commitments.

The appropriate instrument will depend on the underlying obligation, beneficiary and transaction structure, subject to the requirements of the relevant financial institution.

Structured Financing for Complex Transactions

Energy and natural-resource transactions can involve multiple counterparties, jurisdictions, contracts and financing requirements. Bear Capital Ventures Limited can assess the broader transaction rather than focusing on a single financial product.

Where appropriate, financing may combine project, trade, working capital and corporate finance, subject to due diligence, documentation, availability and approval.
