Capital & SPV Engineering

How exactly will we finance it, legally structure it, and distribute returns?

How exactly do we fund this project and structure capital so returns are protected?

How will different types of money sit together in one project? Capital does not flow to ambition — it flows to clarity. Weak structuring exposes investors to avoidable risk and reduces funding velocity.

SLIP designs the financial architecture that makes projects investable. We structure the capital stack, design SPV frameworks, model return waterfalls, and create the legal and financial instruments that give investors confidence to deploy..
