Is your project ready for financing?
A practical starting point for sponsors preparing their first financing discussion.
Start with the revenue case
Identify who pays the project, under which contract, for how long and with what counterparty support. Distinguish contracted revenue from assumptions about future demand.
Make the development status visible
Record land or asset rights, permits, environmental work, grid or utility connections, and the remaining development milestones. Identify dependencies and expiry dates.
Reconcile the cost and funding requirement
Distinguish development costs, construction costs, financing fees, contingency, working capital and reserves. Show the sponsor contribution and any remaining funding gap.
Test repayment under stress
Evaluate cash flow available for debt service against the proposed debt profile. Consider construction delays, lower revenue, higher operating costs and interest-rate changes where relevant.
Prepare an action plan
A readiness assessment should identify what is sufficient, what is missing, who must resolve it and what should happen before a capital process begins.
