Financial modelling for fundraising

Client

Global mining and metals company

Objective

Our client was seeking to raise government funds to construct a coal mining complex.

Approach

Swiss Appraisal’s consultants were engaged by our client's CTO, CFO, and IFRC officials to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the business plan and financial model of the investment project. The assessment of the correctness of the calculations was based on an analysis of the structure of the business plan, the reliability of the initial data, assumptions, and the assessment of the technological and economic feasibility of the project – within strict requirements of federal regulations.

The risk assessment of the project included analysis of the financial viability of the investor and the project, the availability of funding sources, and the risk of insolvency. Market prices, which exert significant influence on the NPV of such projects, were assessed for products, output, currency fluctuations, operating costs, and the volume of capital expenditures.

The assessment of the financial, economic and budgetary effectiveness of the project consisted of analysing such indicators as net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), profitability index (PI), payback period (PB), and total anticipated revenue.

Results

Swiss Appraisal determined the project to be economically feasible. We concluded that, subject to federal financing:
  • the business plan and the financial model of the investment project meet all economic efficiency criteria;
  • the tax revenues from the project implementation ensure the return and economic justification of state support;
  • the project fully complies with the conditions for selecting investment projects of the state program.

Based on our conclusions, our client applied and was selected for investment under the federal program.
