Fibre Financing

Let’s bridge the digital divide

Are you seeking financing to enable the roll-out of fibre optic networks for B2B and deliver fibre to the home (FTTH) in underserved areas?

Or or are you looking for funding to improve or expand existing digital infrastructure investments?

We offer project finance and additional funding to sustainable infrastructure funds, infrastructure investors, developers and other lenders to realise FTTH and B2B roll-outs and support existing fibre/broadband infrastructure investments.

Our financing solutions are tailor-made and range from development finance and construction financing to build or upgrade fibre optic networks, to investment financing for digital infrastructure projects across Europe.

Our financing amounts range from EUR 20,000,000 to EUR 50,000,000.

Our financing approach

Typically, we provide our financing as senior debt and are part of a lending club of relationship banks, banking consortiums or a consortium of infrastructure funds, specializing in digital infrastructure, and act as a participant in larger transactions.

Additionally, we offer project finance to refinance broadband infrastructure or upgrade fibre optic networks.

With our expertise in digital infrastructure financing and the flexibility we offer in terms of conditions, we ensure quick and reliable financing for your infrastructure investments.

Key considerations in fibre roll-out financing

When financing fibre optic networks, we consider several factors to assess the risk and determine the terms of the loan such as:

Financial stability: including equity commitment from the sponsor, credit history, financial statements, and other relevant financial data.
Project scope and size: including the distance to be covered and the number of customers to be served.
How proven is the track record of network deployment and customer sales.
Project viability: including the level of demand for broadband infrastructure in the area, potential penetration which can be achieved in a certain area, the competitive landscape, and the regulatory environment.
Network design and technology: including the type of fibre optic cables to be used, the transmission equipment, and the network architecture.
The collateral available to secure the loan, such as the network infrastructure, and / or other assets.
Revenue streams: including the pricing strategy, the number of customers, and the expected revenue per customer.
Operating expenses: including maintenance, repair, and upgrade costs associated with the network.

Contact our relationship managers to discuss your finance options, or visit our Infrastructure page for information on financing other types of infrastructure, such as Data Centres and Telecom Towers.
