Our services
Four areas of advisory, from the first model to financial close.
We advise developers, companies and asset owners on shaping a financing strategy suited to the characteristics of the project, the stage it has reached and the client's objectives. The process covers reviewing financing alternatives, setting the equity and debt structure, matching the financing terms to the project cash flow, and shaping the right approach to banks, institutional investors and investors. The work combines deep financial analysis with practical familiarity with the financing market, and aims to create a workable structure that balances leverage, cost of financing, operational flexibility and the allocation of risk between the parties.
