BOT is the short form of "BUILD-OPERATE-TRANSFER", which means that the government and the project company of the private consortium sign a franchise agreement, by which the project company will raise capital and build public infrastructure. The project company will own and operate this project facility, recover investment, repay loan and make reasonable profits through service charge during the period of franchised operation. After the period of franchised operation expires, the project will be transferred to government free of charge.

BOT Finance has uncertainty of loss occurring in the four stages of franchising, building, operation and transfer; therefore, it is particularly important to engage a financial professional to carry out analysis and risk assessment first and choose a suitable manner to evade risk, in order to secure normal operation of the project.
