Unfinished projects
Assets with a clear route to completion but a gap in the capital needed to get there.
PROJECT FINANCING / RECOVERY CAPITAL
Distressed Assets & Struggling Projects
A viable project deserves a way forward.
When an asset still has real economic potential, a shortage of capital or a broken financing structure should not be its final chapter. WTE Bank directly provides approved recovery financing to stabilize operations, complete essential work, and support a credible return to cash generation.

01 / THE OPPORTUNITY
Restore the value that financial distress has put at risk.
When a project is viable but starved of capital, every delay can destroy more value. Recovery financing must reach the work that restores earning power.
A delayed opening, damaged balance sheet, unfinished build, or temporary cash shortfall can obscure a fundamentally useful asset. WTE Bank focuses financing on a practical recovery plan: what must be repaired, what capital is needed, and how the project can earn enough to sustain its obligations.
01
Keep a viable asset working
Finance approved liquidity needs and essential spending that protect operations during recovery.
02
Complete the unfinished work
Fund eligible repairs, equipment, construction, or reopening costs needed to restore earning capacity.
03
Build a sustainable capital structure
Where existing claims can be resolved, align new financing with a realistic plan for operations and repayment.
02 / PROJECTS IN SCOPE01 / PROJECT 02 / PROJECT 03 / PROJECT 04 / PROJECT
Where recovery financing can help
The opportunity lies in the underlying asset and the path to a viable business, not in distress for its own sake.
Underperforming facilities
Operating plants or service assets that need repairs, upgrades, or renewed liquidity.
Distressed acquisitions
Acquisition and improvement of a viable asset when the transaction can resolve existing claims.
Projects needing refinancing
Facilities whose current debt terms no longer fit the asset’s realistic cash generation.
03 / THE CAPITAL01 02 03 04
Put new capital where recovery actually happens.
WTE Bank can finance approved stabilization, acquisition, completion and rebuilding costs under a plan that addresses existing claims and gives the asset a realistic route back to sustainable operations.
Stabilization liquidity
Eligible essential payments that preserve operations, assets or critical supply during the recovery period.
Acquisition or refinancing
Capital for a viable acquisition or a revised debt structure when prior claims can be resolved.
Repairs and completion
Equipment replacement, deferred maintenance and unfinished works required to restart earning.
Restart working capital
Approved operating needs as production and collections resume under the recovery plan.
04 / BUILT FOR THE REAL FINANCING CYCLE
A second chance needs more than a temporary loan.
The financing has to address why the project struggled and what changes its cash position. WTE Bank focuses the facility on an executable restoration plan and a repayment profile the renewed asset can support.
Protect the asset
Stop avoidable deterioration and preserve the value that remains.
Resolve the capital gap
Fund the approved work or acquisition that can change the asset’s earning capacity.
Reopen cash generation
Allow for the operational restart and the time required for receipts to recover.
Repay sustainably
Set terms against realistic future cash flows, rather than repeating the structure that failed.
05 / FROM PLAN TO PERFORMANCE
A recovery facility with a clear destination.
Capital follows the steps required to make the asset productive again.
Stabilize
Fund approved essential costs that preserve the asset and critical operations.
Resolve
Where feasible, refinance or fund an acquisition as existing claims are addressed.
Restore
Finance repairs, completion, replacement equipment, and the restart plan.
Repay
Set terms against the cash the recovered project can reasonably generate.
06 / WHERE WTE Bank CAPITAL CAN WORK
Where a recovery facility can change the trajectory.
WTE Bank finances the approved recovery plan directly. The facility can connect stabilization capital, repairs and the restart of operating payments, while the owners and operators remain responsible for carrying out the turnaround.
A stalled industrial plant
Finance essential repairs, equipment and restart liquidity when the plant can return to viable production.
An unfinished asset
Provide approved completion capital so a nearly finished facility can begin serving customers.
An acquisition under stress
Finance the purchase and improvement of a productive asset when prior claims can be resolved.
07 / THE WTE Bank ADVANTAGE01 02 03
Recovery capital from WTE Bank itself.
WTE Bank directly provides the approved facility. Financing, project accounts, and relevant payments can work together under one banking relationship as the asset returns to operation.
Direct capital for the recovery plan
WTE Bank funds the approved financing rather than seeking another lender for the transaction.
A focus on future viability
The structure is built around the work required to restore the asset and its expected capacity to repay.
Capital connected to execution
Agreed funding stages support the recovery plan and the project’s operating payments.
08 / THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
What this financing makes possible.
Every project has its own economics and terms. These answers show how WTE Bank approaches the opportunity.
Does a project have to be profitable today?
A currently struggling project can be considered when there is a credible, financeable path to restoring operations and repaying the facility.
Can WTE Bank pay off an existing lender or finance an acquisition?
An approved transaction may include refinancing or acquisition funding when existing claims can be resolved and the resulting capital structure is viable.
Does WTE Bank take over management of the project?
No. WTE Bank finances the approved recovery plan; the project’s owners and operators remain responsible for executing it.
WTE BANK / THE NEXT STEP
Give the project a credible second chapter.
Discuss the asset, what has held it back, and the capital needed to restore its earning power. WTE Bank can consider a financing structure for that plan.
