Who we are

Many advisors can model cash flows. We know what it takes to build, power and run the projects behind them.

We are a project finance and advisory firm. We source opportunities, test feasibility, package projects and structure the funding for sponsors in any industry, and for the capital providers who back them.

  • Operational lens

    Delivery experience from across the Group informs every diligence decision.

  • Early risk visibility

    Delivery issues surface before they undermine the case.

  • Funder alignment

    Evidence is packaged the way capital providers decide.

Built on the New Generation Group

Operating depth from companies that build, power and connect.

New Generation Capital is part of the New Generation Group. Our sister companies work in construction, energy, infrastructure and telecoms, so we know what it takes to deliver a project on the ground.

We bring that understanding to every deal we structure, whether the project is a solar plant, a fintech platform or a factory expansion.
