Infrata

What Infrata does

Infrata is a UK-headquartered infrastructure advisory firm, founded in 2011, that serves lenders, investors, and sponsors of large-scale infrastructure and energy projects. The firm is now part of the dss+ operations-led transformation group following a 2022 funding round led by Lonsdale Capital Partners, and operates from offices in London, Bogota, Toronto, and Madrid with a headcount in the 11-50 range.

The firm delivers five core service lines: Technical Advisory, Strategic & Commercial Advisory, Demand & Traffic Advisory, Sustainability Advisory, and M&A and Asset Management. Coverage spans eight infrastructure sectors — Aviation, Roads, Rail, Maritime, Social Infrastructure, Digital, Power & Utilities, and Water & Waste — with marquee mandates referenced on projects including JFK Airport Terminal 1, Roberts Bank Terminal 2 in Canada, and the DIF Portfolio in Ireland. The stated differentiator is independent, sector-specialised advice backed by an international team operating across multiple languages.

Infrata's business model is project-based professional services: bespoke mandates are scoped per engagement, with engagements typically tied to multi-year infrastructure project lifecycles from financial close through construction and operations. The firm sells predominantly to institutional counterparties (debt providers, equity sponsors, project owners) on a transaction- and asset-management cadence rather than on subscription or volume-based pricing.
