💰 Funding Section
The Funding section is where you'll model your project’s funding stack — usually a mix of debt and equity to cover total project costs.
Every project is different, so Feasly offers flexibility to model, lock in, or test a range of funding structures.
🧭 How it Works
Tab order sets the repayment hierarchy (Debt & Equity Waterfalls).
Totals are summarised upfront — including costs to fund, LVR, and any funding shortfall or surplus.
📊 Costs-to-Funding Summary Widget
A handy widget showing the total project costs to fund, including:
Project Costs to Fund
Includes: All project and funding costs, contingency allocations. Excludes: Sales costs remitted at settlement, pre-construction rental income and sales deposit interest.
Total Debt Funding
Sum of all debt funding sources. GST exempt.
Total Third-Party Equity Contribution
Equity contributed by external partners. GST exempt.
Total Developer Equity
Equity contribution from the Developer. GST exempt.
Shortfall/Surplus
Difference between total funding allocated and project costs (Ex GST).
🏦 LVR Funding Widget
Helps you estimate debt capacity based on Loan-to-Value assumptions.
GRV (Ex GST): Total project sales revenue
Total Development Costs (Ex GST):
Includes: Land & Acquisition, Professional Fees, Fees & Charges (Net of Credits), Construction Costs and Contingency Allocation. Excludes: Rental Costs, Land Holding, Marketing, Funding Fees & Interest.
LVR Amount: Based on selected method (GRV or TDC) and LVR %
💳 Debt Funding
This is where you'll build the debt stack to fund your project — typically made up of senior, mezzanine, and short-term loans.
💡 Tip: Want to model different funding strategies? Duplicate the scenario from your dashboard and compare side-by-side in the Summary tab.
🧭 How it Works
Tab order sets repayment priority via the Debt Waterfall Priority.
You can only add one Senior Debt Facility per scenario.
Add multiple Mezzanine Facilities if needed.
Use Debt Loans for interest-only or short-term facilities with flexible repayment (e.g. roll into senior debt).
All debt funds and related fees are treated as non-taxable deductions.
🏗 Debt Facility
Click Add > Debt Facility to open the configuration popup.
💡 Tip: Feasly will estimate your payback date automatically (based on Net Sales Proceeds in the Financials section).
Example: Debt Facility popup to complete
Key Inputs
Debt Priority
Sets position in the Debt Waterfall (Senior or Mezzanine).
Calculation Type
Auto: Based on LVR (Loan-to-Value Ratio)
Manual: Enter a known amount
LVR Method
Select the Loan-to-Value method (GRV or TDC). Calculation: LVR = Facility Amount ÷ GRV or TDC
Interest Rate
Annual % rate used to calculate the interest provision.
Interest Provision
Assumes 55% drawdown by the project midpoint
Override by switching to Calculation Type = Manual
💡 Tip: In the Financials section, once cost spans are complete, you can launch the Interest Wizard to: Recalculate interest based on actual drawdowns and offset interest variance directly in the cashflow
Facility Fees
Funded Fees: Included in facility
Unfunded Fees: Counted as project costs
💡 Tip: Usually treated as GST Exempt
Drawdown Schedule
Auto-generates.
🧾 Debt Loan
Use a Debt Loan when interest is repaid during the project and you need flexible repayment options.
Click Add > Debt Loan to open the configuration popup.
Example: Debt Loan popup to complete
Key Inputs
Project Loan Term (Months)
Enter the active repayment period — not the full loan term.
E.g. 8 months if rolled into Senior Debt at that point.
Loan Type
Interest Only: Interest auto-calculated based on inputs
Manual: Enter a known amount
💡 Tip: Loan interest is allocated to Funding Costs
Loan Fees: Added under Funding Costs (non-taxable deductions)
Principal Repayment Options: Choose how the principal is repaid;
Convert to Senior Debt (Rolls 100% of the loan into the Senior Debt Facility. Senior Debt must be added first).
Repay from Net Sales Proceeds
Automatically repaid using available sales proceeds
Repay on Selected Date
Set a custom date to trigger loan repayment
⚙️ Platform Automations
Your selected repayment method will trigger automatic logic throughout the platform:
Example: Convert to Senior Debt
Principal is added as a drawdown in the Senior Debt Facility
Reflected in Financials > Planning > Costs
Example: Repay from Net Sales Proceeds
Repayment is based on available proceeds and Debt Waterfall
Reflected in Financials > Planning > Revenue
Example: Repay on Selected Date
Principal repayment is added to the Cashflow on the selected date
👥 Equity Funding
This is where you'll build the equity stack to fund your project. It might be simple (Developer Equity only) or more complex with multiple Third-Party Equity Partners.
🧭 How it Works
Tab order sets the Preferred Equity Waterfall
Add one or multiple equity partners as needed
Equity Injections are treated as non-taxable income
Investment funds are returned pre-tax (see Financials > Cashflow Report)
Equity returns are distributed after tax (see Financials > Profit Distribution Report)
🤝 Third-Party Equity
Click Add > Third-Party Equity to configure a new equity partner.
Example: Popup to complete
Key Inputs
Equity Amount
Initial investment to fund project costs (returned pre-tax)
Equity Returns Types
Choose one or add multiple:
% Interest = Equity × Rate × Project Duration
% of Net Profit (calculated in Financials > Profit Distribution Report)
Fixed $ Amount Return
All returns are distributed post-tax (see Financials> Profit Distribution Report)
Equity Fees
Add any fees (e.g. legal or advisory)
Treated as Funding Costs (non-taxable deductions)
Equity Investor Injection Schedule
💡 Tip: Once Financial spans are complete, you’ll know the timing of equity injections. Adjust the schedule or download it from the Equity Investor Report.
🧑💼 Developer Equity
Add the Developer equity contribution.
This is returned last in the waterfall
Returns are auto-calculated in the Financials > Profit Distribution Report.
Developer Equity Contribution Schedule
💡 Tip: Once spans are complete in Financials, you'll know when Developer Equity is required. You can update the schedule anytime and view return estimates in the Profit Distribution Report.
