FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What types of transactions do you help with?
We support a wide range of clean energy transactions across the project lifecycle, including project sales and acquisitions, debt and tax equity financing, tax credit transfers, and commercial contracting. Our work typically focuses on transactions where clear project economics, capital structuring, and investor-ready analysis are critical to moving forward with confidence.
How do you charge for your services?
Our services are structured to align with the scope and complexity of the engagement. Depending on the use case, this may include success-based fees, retainer advisory support, or services bundled alongside platform access. We work with each customer to define an approach that fits their needs and stage of development.
Is there a minimum deal size you require?
We don’t apply a strict minimum deal size. Instead, we focus on whether CapeZero can meaningfully improve decision-making, efficiency, or risk management for the opportunity. That said, our services are typically most valuable for projects and portfolios where capital structure, timing, and execution risk materially impact outcomes.
Do you help with raising capital?
CapeZero supports the capital-raising process by helping teams prepare investor-ready analysis, evaluate financing and sale structures, and respond efficiently to diligence questions. Our platform and services help teams move faster and more confidently from analysis to executed transactions.
