Advisory support for investment readiness, PPP structuring, and capital mobilization aligned with policy and delivery realities.
Access to capital alone does not guarantee successful outcomes. Many infrastructure and development initiatives struggle not because funding is unavailable, but because projects are not investment-ready, risks are poorly allocated, governance structures are weak, or public and private stakeholders are misaligned. Ford Cole Advisory Partners supports clients in structuring, positioning, and coordinating capital so that investment can be mobilized, deployed effectively, and translated into operational assets that deliver intended outcomes.
We advise governments, sponsors, investors, and development partners on the strategic and institutional aspects of capital mobilization and investment delivery. Our work addresses investment readiness and project preparation, public-private partnership advisory and structuring, capital structuring and risk allocation frameworks, donor and development finance alignment, and stakeholder and transaction coordination support.
Our role is not to replace financial advisors, legal counsel, or lenders, but to ensure that strategy, policy, and institutional arrangements are aligned to support sustainable investment. We approach capital advisory from an execution and governance perspective, focusing on the institutional and policy conditions required for investment, supporting alignment between public objectives and private returns, anticipating regulatory and implementation risks early, and bridging public-sector priorities with commercial realities.
This reduces transaction friction and increases the likelihood that capital commitments translate into delivered projects.
Our advisory work is most relevant in the following contexts:
Governments and project sponsors seeking to structure projects for institutional investment, requiring assessment of bankability, risk allocation, and governance frameworks.
Complex PPP transactions in infrastructure, utilities, or social sectors requiring alignment of policy objectives, commercial returns, and institutional governance.
Programs combining concessional and commercial finance where strategic coordination among donors, DFIs, and private investors is critical to success.
Multi-stakeholder transactions requiring independent strategic guidance to align governments, sponsors, financiers, and implementing agencies.
Engagements are led by advisors with direct experience in infrastructure finance, PPP structuring, and institutional investment
Advisory informed by policy constraints, governance realities, and understanding of both public and private sector imperatives
Confidential, objective guidance free from financial conflicts or predetermined transaction outcomes
Clients engaging Ford Cole Advisory Partners on capital and investment mandates typically benefit from improved investment readiness and institutional credibility with financiers, clearer risk allocation and governance frameworks that reduce transaction uncertainty, better-aligned public-private partnerships designed for long-term sustainability, increased likelihood of capital mobilization through stronger stakeholder coordination, and more effective coordination among sponsors, funders, and implementing institutions. We focus on creating the conditions for successful capital deployment, not simply facilitating transactions.
Ford Cole Advisory Partners engages selectively on mandates where strategic clarity, institutional alignment, and execution discipline are essential. Initial discussions are confidential and exploratory, with no obligation.
