Short answer
Bank financing for developers in the Azores follows similar principles to mainland Portugal: banks assess the project's viability, the developer's track record and collateral. Conditions vary by bank and project, so it is essential to discuss terms directly with several banks and possibly a financial advisor. Be prepared for stricter lending criteria on smaller islands due to lower liquidity.
