KBP FinTec, LLC is an independent project-finance advisory firm. We work for the project — helping sponsors, companies, and communities assemble the capital, incentives, and approvals that complex projects require.
The FinTec in our name is how we work: advanced analytics and AI-assisted modeling behind every capital stack, application, and document — small-firm speed, institutional-grade output.

What We Do
Three disciplines. One advisor.
These are three different disciplines — usually three different firms. The value is in carrying all three together, so the site decision, the incentive package, and the capital stack are designed as one, not reconciled after the fact.
- Location and site analysis for expansions and new operations
- Incentive identification, feasibility, and negotiation
- Federal and state grant pursuit — EDA, transportation, and recovery programs
- Legislative and appropriations strategy
- Compliance through the life of the award
- Feasibility and net-benefit analysis before capital is committed
- Market studies and economic-impact analysis
- Land strategy and entitlements — surveys, plats, and land-use approvals
- Coordination of counsel, lenders, agencies, and partners
- Execution management from commitment through financial close
Sectors
The sectors we serve
Deep in the projects that build regional economies — with particular strength in rural and community-development work that larger advisors overlook.
Rural Health
Manufacturing
Technology
Aerospace & Defense
Transportation
Environmental Infrastructure
…and wherever a project strengthens a regional economy.
Approach
How we carry a project
STEP 01
Assess
The ground truth first: feasibility, eligibility, and a project-specific incentive matrix — every applicable program mapped, valued, and sequenced before capital is committed.
STEP 02
Structure
The capital stack designed around the project — debt, equity, credits, and program funds, in combinations convention tends to miss. This is what puts the inspired in Inspired Project Funding.
STEP 03
Finance
Programs applied, lenders and investors engaged, terms negotiated — the stack converted from design into committed capital.
STEP 04
Execute
Approvals, documentation, and coordination carried through financial close — and the obligations that follow it. From site to capital to close, one advisor.
Senior-led and independent. The same people who scope the engagement carry it to close, and the advice answers only to the project.
Experience

What to bring to a first call
A project description, an estimate of total cost, and where it stands — concept, site identified, or capital partially committed. Thirty minutes is usually enough to know whether we can help.
