Infrastructure debt is increasingly establishing itself as a strategic financing solution in a world undergoing profound energy and digital transformation. Long reserved for public institutions and large corporations, this form of financing now attracts private investors, specialized banks, and financial brokers such as PrestaFlex, who play a key role in structuring and securing these complex transactions.





A Massive Need for Long-Term Capital





Infrastructure is no longer limited to roads or airports. It now includes solar power plants, wind farms, fibre-optic networks, data centers, and even social infrastructure (hospitals, schools, sustainable housing).





Each project requires substantial capital—often over 10 to 25 years—combining bank debt, private debt, mezzanine capital, and equity participation.





States, constrained by budgets, can no longer finance everything alone. Private players have therefore become essential: investment funds, pension funds, family offices, as well as brokers and financial intermediaries capable of designing tailor-made structures.





An Attractive and Resilient Asset Class





According to a Barings study (reported by Allnews), the global infrastructure-debt market now exceeds USD 770 billion, driven by two main engines:









These financings offer stable returns and low correlation with equity markets, while being anchored in the real economy. Institutional investors favour this debt for its predictability and its anchor role in long-term portfolios.





PrestaFlex’s Role: Structuring, Connecting, and Securing Financing





At PrestaFlex, infrastructure debt is an integral part of the tailor-made solutions offered to companies and investors.





Our role is twofold:





For project sponsors (companies, developers, energy firms)









For investors and debt funds









Thanks to our institutional network and experience in structured finance, PrestaFlex links capital needs with those who can deploy it efficiently.





Modular and Sustainable Solutions





PrestaFlex operates across the entire value chain:









This modular approach meets corporate needs while protecting investors, within a regulatory framework compliant with CDB 20 and FINMA standards.





Why Work with PrestaFlex?





Because an infrastructure project is not a simple loan—it is full-scale financial engineering.





PrestaFlex brings:









Key Takeaway





In a changing economic landscape, infrastructure debt is becoming a tool for stability and impact.





Swiss and European companies wishing to develop, refinance, or modernize their infrastructure can rely on PrestaFlex as a trusted partner to design tailor-made, sustainable, and competitive solutions.

Infrastructure debt is increasingly establishing itself as a strategic financing solution in a world undergoing profound energy and digital transformation. Long reserved for public institutions and large corporations, this form of financing now attracts private investors, specialized banks, and financial brokers such as PrestaFlex, who play a key role in structuring and securing these complex transactions.

A Massive Need for Long-Term Capital

Infrastructure is no longer limited to roads or airports. It now includes solar power plants, wind farms, fibre-optic networks, data centers, and even social infrastructure (hospitals, schools, sustainable housing).

Each project requires substantial capital—often over 10 to 25 years—combining bank debt, private debt, mezzanine capital, and equity participation.

States, constrained by budgets, can no longer finance everything alone. Private players have therefore become essential: investment funds, pension funds, family offices, as well as brokers and financial intermediaries capable of designing tailor-made structures.

An Attractive and Resilient Asset Class

According to a Barings study (reported by Allnews), the global infrastructure-debt market now exceeds USD 770 billion, driven by two main engines:

  • Energy transition: modernization of power grids, energy storage, hydrogen, sustainable mobility.
  • Digitization of the economy: fibre optics, data centers, connectivity, and cybersecurity.

These financings offer stable returns and low correlation with equity markets, while being anchored in the real economy. Institutional investors favour this debt for its predictability and its anchor role in long-term portfolios.

PrestaFlex’s Role: Structuring, Connecting, and Securing Financing

At PrestaFlex, infrastructure debt is an integral part of the tailor-made solutions offered to companies and investors.

Our role is twofold:

For project sponsors (companies, developers, energy firms)

  • Comprehensive analysis of the project and business model.
  • Financing structuring: senior debt, subordinated debt, mezzanine, or bridge loan.
  • Negotiation of terms with institutional lenders and private investors.
  • Support through to financial close.

For investors and debt funds

  • Sourcing projects aligned with ESG criteria and Swiss regulation.
  • Legal risk mitigation (due diligence, contracts, collateral).
  • Connecting with banks, insurers, and funds specialized in infrastructure debt.

Thanks to our institutional network and experience in structured finance, PrestaFlex links capital needs with those who can deploy it efficiently.

Modular and Sustainable Solutions

PrestaFlex operates across the entire value chain:

  • Senior-debt financing: for already operational projects generating predictable cash flows.
  • Mezzanine or junior debt: to complement bank financing or replace equity.
  • Bridge financing: to fund interim phases (permits, sales, commissioning).
  • Cross-border financing: for energy or logistics infrastructure located in Europe.
  • Private equity & co-investment: for players seeking greater leverage through direct stakes.

This modular approach meets corporate needs while protecting investors, within a regulatory framework compliant with CDB 20 and FINMA standards.

Why Work with PrestaFlex?

Because an infrastructure project is not a simple loan—it is full-scale financial engineering.

PrestaFlex brings:

  • Independent expertise in structuring complex debt.
  • Direct access to European banking partners, institutional funds, and family offices.
  • Rigorous risk assessment: financial, legal, and operational.
  • An integrated ESG approach for sustainable, long-term bankable projects.

Key Takeaway

In a changing economic landscape, infrastructure debt is becoming a tool for stability and impact.

Swiss and European companies wishing to develop, refinance, or modernize their infrastructure can rely on PrestaFlex as a trusted partner to design tailor-made, sustainable, and competitive solutions.
