A business has three intensity categories: capital, labor and technology. For capital intensive industries the level of capital involvement is huge. So a sole proprietor cannot finance capital intensive industries. Also financing heavy projects by a single financial institution puts much pressure on the institution’s cash flows. This limitation with the financial institutions could not stop entrepreneurs from setting heavy industry that requires huge amount of capital. To respond to such demands, financial organizations now have introduced an arrangement known as "structured finance options".
Structured finance options truly brought life to modern day heavy-industry financing and broadened the security net for financial institutions rather than jeopardizing the operating cash flows. It has opened new scope for the businesses and thus delivering greater values. In this article we will see structured finance options from two perspectives; the financial institution and the business.

- extended control on the use of credit even after disbursement
Structured finance options offer complete advantage for financial institutions.
On the context of businesses firms receiving structured finance options they enjoy great advantages like:

We must not forget one of the key players of such structured finance option and that is the arranger of the credit program. The arranger of structured finance is an organization from the financial institutes who promote and market structured credit programs. In such arrangement the business entity and financial institute entity’s interest are kept similar on a traditional context like mortgage and so on. But popularizing structured financing option among other financers is completely done at the financial institutions sole discretion with an active presence of agreement whichever is enforceable by local law with the beneficiary account.
