Founded in 2004, Chapin International is a project development and financial advisory firm assisting both the private and public sector to develop and finance large scale infrastructure projects with a particular expertise in the area of Public Private Partnerships, Renewable Energy, and Rural Electrification. We have a solid track record working in emerging markets including francophone Africa and the Caribbean where we have assisted both the private and public sector in successfully developing projects and bringing them to financial close. Chapin International is typically involved in projects during their early stages of development. With more than 30 years of experience in the area of project finance, we are able to assist in the development of projects to ensure their bankability and their attractiveness to a maximum spectrum of investors. This includes working with clients to develop an appropriate and realistic financial plan for the project which may include accessing development grants from governments and financial institutions. At the appropriate stage in the development process we assist in raising the financing for the project. Our compensation is primarily success driven so we have the incentive and commitment to work with our clients until financial closing. Chapin International also works with banks and investors to perform commercial due diligence evaluations of renewable energy and infrastructure projects for prospective investment. The World Bank and a number of large private equity investors are amongst our clients.
