A Global Problem
It’s common knowledge that there is a growing water scarcity crisis globally. Less well known is the fact that there is a $200bn funding gap for water infrastructure projects that are expected to rise to $1.2trn by 2030. Apart from climate change, this funding gap is one of the key reasons why the crisis is getting worse.
This $200bn funding gap for water infrastructure projects arises from limited access to water infrastructure expertise among traditional financiers. This, combined with the complex and variable nature of such projects, deters most financiers, leading to either complete disinterest or prolonged due diligence processes that often fail to secure project funding.
Leasing through us
The H2O Securities Platform combines traditional finance, specialist risk management modelling, blockchain, the internet-of-things and tokenomics to deliver securitised leasing solutions to our clients. Our lease terms range from 3-5 year arrangements, that can be extended for periods up to 20 years
An Easy Access Point To Finance
Our next-generation leasing solution Fintech Platform is innovatively designed to connect equipment manufacturers, distributors of water treatment equipment and water plant owner/operators to our Credit Lines and Risk Underwriters. We inter-operate in a way traditional finance methodologies simply is not able to and, provide financing through operating or financial leaseback arrangements. Our platform serves as a centralised hub for lease finance applications, where deals are rapidly auto evaluated through sophisticated algorithms and if approved receive near instant approvals.
High quality leases
The platform generates harmonised investment-grade asset-backed leases for financial institutions, managing those leases throughout the asset's lifecycle. This means our leases and credit lines are protected from typical Operational and Capital risks experienced in the water infrastructure assets through our A+ grade risk underwriting. This model allows us to provide physical equipment maintenance during the lease life cycle that benefits all parties involved in the lease arrangement.

We are constantly growing and this creates opportunities for Credit Line and Lease Finance providers as well as for all other participants in the global water sector. Why not make contact and enquire about your opportunity to benefit from H2O Securities?
