Banyan Infrastructure Project Finance Software Report 2024

Did you know? 40% of executives in project finance dedicate 5+ hours weekly to data management and admin tasks!

In our inaugural project finance software industry survey we set out to help understand and share what friction points the broader ecosystem is experiencing and what opportunities for collective growth are needed to move the industry forward.

Through this report, we will share the findings, insights, and recommendations on how to capitalize on the immense opportunity for renewable energy development and deployment over the coming years. Download now to learn more.

Key takeaways include:

• 70% of respondents want to grow their portfolio this year, but two of the main roadblocks standing in the way are risk profile and availability of capital. Developers can’t seem to find financiers willing to invest; financiers can’t seem to find renewable energy projects that meet their risk criteria. 
• Nearly a third of respondents aren’t using any software solutions to make or manage project finance deals. Of those who are using software solutions, the most popular ones are out-of-the-box programs like Microsoft/Google suite and CRMs like Salesforce, none of which are built to handle the complex deal structures and documentation of project finance.
• More than a third of respondents spent 5+ hours/week on data management. That means project finance experts are spending precious time on data entry: managing closing checklists, co-ordinating counterparties, tracking to-dos, creating reports, and performing other basic tasks
