Program Details: Partner's Financial Participation
To ensure a strong and continuing commitment by our Partner to the success of the project and the Program, Sentry requires our Partner to have skin in the game, i.e., a meaningful share of the downside risk, not merely upside potential.
This skin in the game requirement is achieved through either a guaranty by the Partner of a significant portion of the Sentry Capital, a meaningful cash participation by the Partner in the required down payment (which will reduce the amount of the Sentry Capital), or a combination of a guaranty and cash contribution.
The specifics are based on the financial wherewithal of our Partner, the overall risk/return relationship of the project, and the economic relationship between Sentry and our Partner.
