B-Tex

B-Tex

With BPD’s experience in structuring and arranging, XFi acted as Lead Arranger and Lender for an EUR 218.9m SERV Covered Term Loan Facility to finance the construction and equipment for an integrated textile factory featuring a full textile processing and finishing plant in a west African Country.

The manufacturing unit will be equipped with modern technology supplied amongst others from Switzerland. Equipped with 33’000 spindles to produce approximately 7’000 tons of textiles annually it will create approximately 4’600 direct employments.

The sponsors and the local government established a dedicated zone to facilitate the economic development of the country. We made the project eligible for SERV cover and for international banks to provide funding.

Varanasi Urban Ropeway

In October 2023 BPD’s team achieved financial closing for the first urban ropeway in India, in the holy city of Varanasi.

To finance a part of the 3.85 km project costs a SERV-covered buyer credit of EUR 27.4m was signed between the special purpose company (owned by the contractor Vishwa Samudra Engineering Pvt Ltd), and Xport Finance Ltd.

The 10-seater gondolas project is structured through a 15 years concession, on DBOT (Design, Built, Operate and Transfer) basis.

Our idea of a non-bank lender fully dedicated to exporting SMEs was first presented to the Swiss Export Credit Agency (SERV) in 2014. In 2017 Xport Finance Ltd (“XFi”) was established.

Until end of April 2024, XFi signed more than 120 loan agreements (working capital facilities, supplier credits, buyer credits), for a CHF 300m underwriting volume insured by SERV, with borrowers across the world in diversified sectors.

Door to door tenors of the transactions range from 6 months to 12 years. With more than CHF 500m total transaction volume arranged, we made XFi a proven business model.
