Corporate Finance Advisory for Business and Project Financing
Businesses and project sponsors may require corporate finance advisory support at different stages – from early business planning and financial modelling to property acquisition, corporate expansion, refinancing, acquisitions and preparation for external funding. Our role is to assess the underlying requirement, clarify the financial logic and determine how the opportunity may be structured and prepared for the appropriate financing route.
A financing requirement often begins before a business is ready to approach lenders or investors. The initial need may be to develop a business plan, test financial assumptions, assess projected performance or determine how much capital is realistically required.
We support businesses and project sponsors in developing or refining the financial model, projections, use of funds and underlying commercial assumptions. The objective is to create a coherent financial basis that supports both internal decision-making and the preparation of a future financing case.
Property transactions may involve acquisition financing, development funding, refinancing or the restructuring of an existing investment. The financing approach will depend on the asset, transaction value, available equity, projected income and overall capital requirement.
We assess the proposed transaction and help define the funding requirement, capital contribution and supporting financial logic. Where the opportunity is viable, the case can then be structured and prepared for engagement with appropriate lenders.
Businesses planning expansion may require capital for new facilities, equipment, increased production capacity, market development or other strategic investment. The funding requirement must be considered alongside the company’s existing financial position, projected performance and ability to support additional capital.
We assess the proposed investment, the amount and purpose of the funding required and its financial impact on the business. This provides the basis for determining an appropriate financing structure and preparing for further funding consideration.
Existing financing arrangements may no longer reflect the current position or future requirements of a business. Refinancing may be considered to address repayment pressure, restructure existing debt, improve the funding profile or provide additional capital alongside existing facilities.
We review the current financial position, borrowing structure, repayment requirements and future funding needs to identify what may need to change. The objective is to establish a clearer and more sustainable financial structure for future funding consideration.
An acquisition requires more than identifying a suitable target. The transaction value, buyer contribution, financing requirement, repayment capacity and post-acquisition financial position must all support a credible and workable funding structure.
We assess the financial logic of the proposed acquisition and help define the funding requirement around the economics of the transaction. This includes reviewing available financial information, capital requirements and the proposed financing mix before engagement with relevant lenders or funding partners.
Businesses and projects may have a clear funding objective but still need to determine how the requirement should be structured and presented. This may involve identifying gaps in the available information, strengthening the financial case and clarifying which financing route may be appropriate.
We review the opportunity, funding requirement and supporting information to assess capital readiness. Where further preparation is required, we strengthen the case before engagement with suitable funding sources.
These requirements may begin at different stages, but each financing case ultimately depends on the same fundamentals: a clear commercial rationale, credible financial information, an appropriate capital structure and sufficient preparation for external review.
Our role is to identify what the case requires, strengthen the areas that matter and prepare it for the next appropriate financing decision.
Our corporate finance advisory services focus on the practical work needed to assess, strengthen and prepare a financing case with clear financial logic, a coherent structure and the information required for lenders and funding sources to evaluate it properly.
A focused review of the case, available financial information, funding objective and key gaps to identify where greater clarity or preparation may strengthen its financing position.
Development or restructuring of the financial narrative, projections and capital-use logic to create a clearer, stronger and more coherent basis for the overall funding case.
Preparation and refinement of financial and supporting materials so the financing case can be presented clearly and professionally to relevant lenders, investors and funding partners.
A financing case must do more than describe the opportunity. It should clearly explain the financial logic, funding requirement, use of funds and commercial rationale so that lenders and other funding sources can assess it properly. Our corporate finance advisory role brings those elements together into a clear and well-structured financing case.
A strong opportunity can still lose momentum when the financing logic is not clear enough to support a decision.
Our corporate finance advisory work is shaped by the funding objective, transaction structure and stage of preparation. Different situations may require different combinations of analysis, planning, documentation and transaction support.
For businesses seeking bank financing, refinancing existing facilities or restructuring borrowing around a clear and defined financial objective.
For defined projects requiring a clear capital plan, coherent financial case and supporting materials before approaching potential funding sources.
For businesses or project sponsors preparing financial information, projections and supporting materials for investor review, capital discussions or decisions.
Assessment → Planning → Documentation → Transaction Support
Depending on the case, a corporate finance advisory mandate may cover one or several areas of financial assessment, capital planning, case development, documentation, transaction preparation and execution support, with the scope shaped around the actual requirements of the financing case.
Our work spans project-driven, asset-backed and operating businesses where financing depends on the underlying economics, capital requirement and transaction structure. Experience includes, among others:
The scope of work depends on the requirements of the financing case and the level of support required. Some engagements focus on a specific issue, while others combine broader preparation, documentation and transaction support.
A defined review focused on a specific financing issue, readiness question or area where greater clarity is needed before the next step is considered.
A broader engagement covering financial planning, case development and supporting materials designed to strengthen the financing proposition.
Support during funding discussions, including strategic input, materials refinement and coordination as the case moves through review and decision-making.
The right support is not always more support. It is the support that removes the right obstacle at the right time.
