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
