  3. Non recourse project financing Non recourse: A loan where the lending bank is only entitled to repayment from the profits of the project , which the loan is funding, not from other assets of the borrower. These types of projects are characterized by high capital expenditures, long loan periods, and uncertain revenue streams. Analyzing them requires a sound knowledge of the underlying technical domain as well as financial modeling skills. Project financing: The financing of long-term infrastructure, industrial projects and public services based upon a non-recourse financial structure where project debt and equity used to finance the project are paid back from the cashflow generated by the project.
