Wholesale lending and project financing are two types of financial services that cater to the needs of businesses and organizations.
Wholesale Lending
Wholesale lending refers to a type of lending where banks and other financial institutions provide credit to other financial institutions or large corporations. These loans are usually in large amounts and are used to fund the operations of the borrower. Wholesale lending typically involves lower interest rates and longer loan terms than retail lending, as the loans are less risky due to the creditworthiness of the borrowers.
Project Financing
Project financing is a type of financing used for large-scale projects, such as infrastructure development, energy projects, and real estate development. In project financing, lenders provide funds to a special purpose vehicle (SPV) created solely for the project. The SPV then uses the funds to finance the project, and the project's cash flows are used to repay the loan. Project financing typically involves a higher level of risk for the lender, as the loan is often collateralized only by the project's assets and revenue stream.
