Asset Financing
Solving the capital structure challenge for e-mobility
Asset financing addresses the fundamental mismatch between capital needs and available funding in the e-mobility sector. Through Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs), we separate asset ownership from operations, enabling faster scaling while preserving founder equity.
Our Asset Financing Model:
- SPVs own physical assets (vehicles, batteries, charging infrastructure)
- Operating companies generate revenue using these assets
- Revenue sharing arrangements between asset and operating entities
- Blended capital combining debt, equity, and grant funding
Benefits:
- Removes capital-intensive assets from company balance sheets
- Preserves founder equity by avoiding dilution for CapEx
- Creates sustainable revenue-sharing that adapts to performance
- Makes businesses more attractive to equity investors
Target Returns: we aim for low to mid teens IRR with asset-backed security structures
