Structured & Development Finance

Capital finds structure. Structure finds capital.

Bluefoot Advisors structures financing — bridge, working capital, long-term, and trade finance — and builds securitizations, connecting financing opportunities across global markets with the development finance institutions, export credit agencies, government institutions, and private funds and financial institutions willing to fund them.

What We Do

Three structures. One origination desk.

Bluefoot originates and structures financing mandates for sponsors, then places them with the institutions best positioned to fund them — arranging the bridge, restructuring what falls out of covenant, or building the securitization that follows it.

01 — Financing

Capital structured to the mandate

We structure and place financing across bridge, working capital, long-term, and trade finance — sized, priced, and documented to match the institution funding it.

  • Bridge & interim facilities to permanent takeout
  • Working capital & short-term facilities for small and medium-sized businesses
  • Long-term & project financing
  • Trade finance & export receivables
02 — Securitizations

Structured exit for financed assets

We structure a true sale of receivables, trade finance assets, and ECA- or DFI-backed loans into a bankruptcy-remote SPV — non-recourse funding, off-balance sheet treatment, and diversified capital sources, without individual obligor underwriting.

  • Asset pooling & eligibility screening
  • True-sale structuring into a bankruptcy-remote SPV
  • Tranching, credit enhancement & waterfall design
  • Off-balance sheet treatment & diversified funding sources
03 — Restructuring

Credit workouts that preserve value

When a facility falls out of covenant, the priority is stopping value erosion — not standing on formalities. We step in alongside borrower and lender to renegotiate terms, align a syndicate or multi-lender group, and rebuild a credit profile that can carry forward.

  • Covenant renegotiation, waivers, and amendment structuring
  • Standstill and forbearance agreements
  • Debt rescheduling, re-amortization, and maturity extension
  • Multi-lender and multi-DFI workout coordination
Capital Network

Institutions we structure toward

A working relationship with the agencies, institutions, and private capital sources that fund cross-border development, trade, and infrastructure — matched to each mandate by sector, geography, and risk appetite.

Our Approach

How mandates get done

Institutional mandates run on direct engagement and deep sector relationships.

Bluefoot Advisors takes a hands-on approach to origination and structuring — direct engagement with sponsors and financing institutions from initial screening through close, supported by a network of legal, credit, and structuring specialists engaged as each mandate requires.

Process

From opportunity to close

Every mandate moves through the same sequence, whether it ends in a bridge facility, a securitization, or both.

01

Origination & screening

We review the opportunity against fundability criteria — export content, development impact, sector eligibility — for the institutions most likely to fund it.

02

Structuring

We size and structure the facility: bridge terms, tranching for a securitization, or both, matched to the funding institution's mandate and risk parameters.

03

Institutional matching

We place the mandate with the ECA, DFI, or government institution — or syndicate of institutions — best positioned to fund it.

04

Negotiation & documentation

We lead term sheet and documentation negotiation between sponsor and financier through to signing.

05

Close & takeout

We coordinate closing conditions and, where applicable, the takeout into permanent financing or the securitized instrument.

Who We Serve

Companies across sectors, everywhere capital needs to move

Financing and securitization needs aren't confined to one industry. We work with companies across sectors wherever a bridge, working capital, long-term, or trade finance mandate — or a securitization — is the right fit.
