Financing consultancy
It is a great advantage to firms planning to initiate investment or development projects if all finances regarding the project are concentrated in one hand. The optimal use of synergies may not only help enhance the smooth and efficient implementation of the development but may also lead to significant cost-savings.
In case of projects implemented with the use of EU funds, both ensuring the availability of own resources and securing the liquidity of the project may cause difficulties for the project owner. That is why we are ready to help them to access bank resources in the following areas:
- elaborating the project financing structure and co-ordinating grants and subsidies;
- assisting bridge-financing of the project;
- ensuring the necessary guarantees for the project;
- assisting the procedure to gain co-financing from commercial banks.
We are also ready to help clients with all-embracing financing and treasury consulting services in case of projects to be implemented without the use of EU funds.
1. Consultancy regarding capital financing
In many cases the most serious drawback of development projects is the scarcity or lack of capital by the project sponsors. As a consequence, many projects are simply brought to an end before getting to the financing phase due to the lack of minimum co-financing by the project owner required by the bank as a pre-condition of lending. Beside getting access to EU funds, this problem may be solved with the involvement of capital financing made available either by financial or technical investors.
OTP Hungaro-Projekt keeps contacts with several companies managing risk capital funds and investment funds which might help making available the missing co-financing. We are ready to prepare all kinds of business plans, analyses, models and studies necessary for fund managers to make a positive financing decision.
