FINANCIAL ADVISORTY SERVICES As a leader of project finance in the region and as an active investor, APICORP is well aware of the different petroleum finance structures being applied throughout the Arab world. To capitalize upon this experience, APICORP offers financial advisory services to clients seeking to raise equity and debt finance for new projects in the hydrocarbon industries. Advisory services are provided on a commercial basis, with due regard to the staffing and skill requirements of each assignment. The individuals who make up the advisory team will have the requisite blend of technical skills and experience. Once mandated, the advisory team appointed is dedicated to the assignment until successful conclusion. As well as advising clients how to raise financing on the most competitive terms available, from the most appropriate sources, we also place an emphasis on working with the client to ensure closing of the financing is achieved in a timely manner – an important factor in a market where there are competing projects. Where appropriate, APICORP provides its financial advisory services jointly with other institutions. This allows us to offer a wider range of services and expertise in conjunction with our own experience of the region and within our industry specialisation.
