Ambitious projects do not fail because of vision.
They fail because of capital.
Whether you are developing a large commercial property, acquiring multiple companies, expanding manufacturing capacity, or launching a major infrastructure initiative, the biggest challenge is often securing large scale project funding.
Traditional banks are rarely structured to support projects at the $100M+ level unless the borrower fits into a narrow institutional framework. Even then, approvals can take months, committees must review every detail, and funding may be capped below what the project truly requires.
But private capital operates differently.
At Grammont Enterprises, we work with clients pursuing large, complex opportunities that demand decisive action and meaningful capital.
Why Banks Struggle With $100M+ Projects
Banks are designed for risk mitigation. Large projects, especially those involving acquisitions, development, or expansion into new markets, are often considered outside standard underwriting models.
Common roadblocks include:
• Conservative valuation standards
• Strict collateral requirements
• Heavy reliance on personal guarantees
• Regulatory oversight and slow internal approvals
• Maximum lending caps below project requirements
For transformative projects, waiting 90 to 180 days for a bank decision is often not realistic. Timing alone can determine whether an opportunity survives.
How Private Large Scale Project Funding Works
Private lenders assess large opportunities based on forward-looking performance, asset value, and deal strength. Instead of forcing every project into a rigid formula, they evaluate:
• Projected cash flow and scalability
• Asset strength and equity position
• Management experience and execution capability
• Market demand and long-term viability
This allows for structured funding solutions that align with the project’s true potential.
Large scale project funding through private channels can range from $100M to several hundred million dollars, depending on the structure and capital stack.
The Power of Strategic Structuring
Securing $100M+ is rarely about a single loan. It is about structuring capital intelligently.
Private funding may include:
• Senior secured debt
• Structured mezzanine financing
• Equity participation components
• Capital stacking strategies
• Non-recourse or limited-recourse structures
When structured properly, large-scale financing protects liquidity while giving you control over high-value assets.
This is not emergency funding. It is strategic growth capital.
Who Large Scale Project Funding Is Right For
Not every project requires nine-figure financing. But when the opportunity is transformational, private funding becomes essential.
It is right if:
• You are executing a large acquisition, development, or expansion project
• Banks have declined the opportunity for structural, not quality-related, reasons
• Speed-to-decision matters
• You need flexibility in deal structuring
• You are prepared with a detailed growth and execution plan
It is not right if:
• You qualify for low-cost traditional financing and are willing to wait
• Your project is under $1 million
• You need short-term emergency capital
• You are uncomfortable with private lender structures
The traditional banking system serves a purpose. But it is not built for transformative, time-sensitive opportunities.
That is why alternative business financing exists — not as a fallback, but as a primary strategy for leaders pursuing ambitious growth.
Preparing for $100M+ Capital Approval
The larger the project, the more important preparation becomes.
To secure large scale project funding, you must present:
• Clear financial projections
• Defined use of funds
• Risk mitigation strategies
• Experienced leadership
• A strong operational execution plan
Private lenders move faster than banks, but they expect sophistication and clarity.
Large capital is available — but it aligns with prepared operators.
Making the Impossible Fundable
Securing $100M+ for your next big project is not about luck. It is about structure, positioning, and working with capital partners who understand scale.
At Grammont Enterprises, we specialize in structuring large scale project funding for visionary entrepreneurs and investors who refuse to shrink their goals to fit a bank’s lending box.
If your next move requires significant capital, the solution may not be convincing a bank.
It may be partnering with a lender built for scale.
