Our Project Finance services

Whether you are assessing the feasibility of a project, seeking financing or refinancing for a project, acquiring or disposing of infrastructure assets, or undertaking a public/private procurement, we are ready to assist in structuring and closing a successful deal.

We offer the following services:

Financial advisory
We provide financial advice to both public and private-sector clients at all stages of a project’s development, from implementation through to execution and post-financial close.

Financial modeling and structuring 
A core part of our services is to review and develop financial models. Financial models enable us to evaluate various financial options and structures with the aim of providing the client with the most appropriate solution.

Feasibility study preparation
We can assist you in preparing a feasibility study for your project and present to financiers. We have significant experience working in close cooperation with technical advisors to assure bankability of a project from the start of its development. We have access to major banks, international financial institutions and private equity investors and can present the completed feasibility study to them.

Taxation and structured finance
As a part of Ernst & Young's global organization, we have access to a worldwide network of professionals who will help find the answers to difficult tax and legal questions that arise as a transaction is being structured and walk you through accounting issues.

Finance raising and negotiation
We liaise with the funding community and negotiate rigorously to obtain the most competitive terms for our clients. In doing so, we perform the following services:

• Assess the funding appetite of bidders 
• Maintain debt finance competition 
• Negotiate terms with funders to financial close.

Asset value optimization
Post-financial close, we advise clients on how to optimize the value of their assets. For example, we explore refinancing, disposals, and valuations of infrastructure assets.
