For business entities undertaking projects or specific contracts, the ability to win either a single large project or several smaller contracts simultaneously, can provide the much needed boost towards business growth, profitability and financial resilience. However, having adequate funds as well as guarantees from banks and other financial institutions is invariably a significant factor in ensuring the successful fulfillment and completion of these projects or contracts. By grasping the potential pitfalls and practical risks inherent in construction project or contract financing, bankers as well as other finance and business professionals will be more adept making sound business credit decisions.
