To ensure a successful project closing we focus on:

• Leveraging our proprietary project screening process to identify potential issues early and identifying solutions more quickly.
• Mitigating risks, especially construction risk which is usually the major risk on a project.
• Four main commercial contracts using our proprietary framework for commercial negotiations.
• Deploying innovative financial structures where needed.
• Ensuring that the extensive documentation required is completed efficiently and accurately.

• We customize project-specific worksheets around a fixed chassis of standard financial statements to simplify the financial model.
• We have developed built-in tests that are part of the chassis to ensure accuracy.
• We follow strict modeling disciplines such as creating an ‘Assumptions Book’ so that all assumptions are in one place and fully documented. We have clear rules that result in fewer mistakes and make auditing easier.

A broad range of training modules are available, and you can click on videos describing these. We cover three main areas:

• Project & Structured Finance
• Contract Negotiation
• Financial Modeling

We have extensive worldwide experience in training and these programs were developed specifically to address the training needs of leading companies such as:

• Industrial companies like ABB and GE Capital.
• Sponsors/developers like a US private equity firm, and Nesma in Saudi Arabia.
• Financial institutions such as Credit Suisse, EBRD, and the National Commercial Bank.
• A comprehensive program for the US Department of Energy, specifically for LPO.
