Terminal

Prepare for investor and buyer diligence.

Investors and buyers diligence multiple projects. They will consider where yours stands by comparison, and know what to ask. You may only have one set of data.

Benchmark against comparable projects, the same references investors use, and flag your outliers across revenue, costs, returns, operations, and quality. Highlight them before the first meeting: front-run the diligence, and build their confidence.

What capital looks for

Institutional capital flows to projects where risks can be understood and mitigated.

This distils into two questions: will the project deliver, and will investors get repaid? The better you manage those risks, the more capital becomes available, and on better terms.

Execution · Structuring

Make your deal financeable.

A contracted offtake is not necessarily a bankable one. Raising capital against it takes real analysis, and often amendments, and different capital has different requirements. But the core questions are the same: will the credits be delivered, will the counterparty pay, and does security sit behind the loan?

Kumo draws on experience from prior carbon transactions to build and execute a structure that works both for you and the capital provider.

Talk to us about structuring

A grid of capital types against financing instruments, shaded where each type is active: banks across equity, debt, outcome bonds, term debt, structured, and receivables financing; funds and asset managers concentrated in equity, debt, prepay, and term debt; trading houses in prepay alone

Execution · Access

Reach the right capital.

Finding the right lender or investor takes months. Every institution runs its own diligence, and you start over each time.

Kumo gives you direct access to a network of 100+ capital providers with a mandate to finance carbon projects. Your assessed, structured deal reaches the right investors, pre-matched to their mandate.

The reward for a bankable deal: cheaper, more flexible, and non-dilutive financing.

Access capital
