Uses of Development Loans
Developers face a number of capital-intensive barriers to bringing projects to fruition throughout the project lifecycle. SolRiver addresses these needs with creative, developer-friendly financing solutions. Our flexible strategy of providing capital at critical stages ensures developers can overcome barriers and unlock project potential.
Early-Stage Traditional project financiers look for de-risked portfolios, creating a market gap for development-stage capital solutions. SolRiver’s early-stage development loans can fund:
- IX Deposits
- Long-Lead Equipment Deposits
- PPA Bid Deposits
Mid to Late-Stage These projects have strong intrinsic value that typically cannot be unlocked until the project is sold. SolRiver can lend against future purchase value of late-stage projects to fund:
- Return of Capital to Developer
- Bridge-Loans For Future Development Fees
- Approved Development Expenses
