Abstract: The purpose of the article is to deepen the theoretical foundations of project financing risks and develop proposals for their systematization according to types. Existing approaches to determining the classification characteristics of project risks have been analyzed. Their distinctive features have been identified. When grouping risks in project financing, it is worth assuming that the latter covers the cost of the capital invested in the project and affects the possibility of obtaining a certain income, which, accordingly, can generate profit. The importance of the issue of identifying investment project risks is determined by the fact that the project is probabilistic in nature, and the financial resources involved are significant and limited. Project financing risk management is carried out at all stages of its life cycle and is associated with such components as implementation dates, project budget and expected results. It should be understood that the earlier possible risks are identified, the sooner it will be possible to reduce the level of their negative impact on the project. Based on the analysis conducted, we proposed a typology of risks by areas of project financing taking into account certain management processes with the separation of their types. Grouping project financing risks by type is necessary at the first stage of their analysis. In the future, given the purpose of the analysis, it makes sense to detail the risks by type. The classification of project financing risks allows not only to deepen their theoretical foundations and carry out multi-faceted analysis, but also to choose the appropriate tools for influence. In the economic literature, risks are classified based on various characteristics, which can be generally grouped by such types as: phases of the project life cycle, level of project feasibility, nature of detection, sources of financing, level of significance and acceptability, etc. However, it is important to understand that in the process of detailing, specific types of risks can simultaneously belong to different types and be mutually dependent. Based on these features, it is considered advisable to classify risks by areas of project financing. In further research, it is advisable to substantiate the methodology for analyzing project financing risks in accordance with their classification features
