Project Financing Advisory
Milestone’s experts have more than 15 years of experience in the infrastructure and project finance markets acting for both project developers and lenders in a wide array of project financing transactions.
Given its very complex nature, project financing requires deep understanding of the financial industry, of why certain projects have failed where others have succeeded, of the “bankability” of contractual arrangements to support financing, of how to leverage cash flow projections to measure expected return rates, and the myriad of related legal issues. Milestone brings to bear our economic, legal and business backgrounds to help craft innovative financing solutions and optimize risk allocation for our clients.
Milestone:
– conducts feasibility studies and risk assessments to measure the viability of a project based on industry standard standards and market terms;
– conducts collateral reviews and analyses;
– reviews project proposals and evaluates project revenue models;
– works with project business plans to make them “bankable”;
– conducts “banakability” analysis for Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contracts.
