Financing Services Bechtel formed its financing services group, Bechtel Financing Services, Inc. in 1969 largely in response to the need to provide financing in support of many of Bechtel’s international projects. Bechtel Financing Services was integrated into a new entity, Bechtel Enterprises, in 1985 and expanded its remit to include project financing for private infrastructure projects. Today, the Financing Services group in Bechtel Enterprises is responsible for providing financing support to all of Bechtel’s Global Business Units and for leading financing activities on Bechtel Enterprises’ development projects. Additionally, Financing Services provides financial analysis and M&A support to Bechtel.
