Frequently Asked Questions

-

In Africa, a significant challenge is the lack of "investment-ready" projects. This is often due to insufficient project development and the high risk perceived by investors at the early stages. Project preparation, which includes thorough feasibility studies, risk assessments, and legal structuring, is essential to transform a concept into a bankable project that is attractive to lenders and investors.

+

A bankable feasibility study (BFS) is a comprehensive, detailed report that evaluates a project's financial viability, technical feasibility, and potential risks. It goes beyond a standard feasibility study by being specifically tailored to meet the strict requirements of financial institutions. The BFS provides the credible data and robust projections that lenders need to justify their investment decisions and mitigate their risks.

Examples include:
  • Technical Designs & Engineering Reports: Detailed engineering plans, designs, and specifications.

The time to achieve financial close can vary significantly depending on the project's complexity, size, and location. It is a rigorous process that involves satisfying a long list of conditions precedent, approvals, and legal documentation.

While smaller projects might achieve financial close in a matter of months, large-scale, complex infrastructure projects can often take 18 to 36 months or even longer from the initial stages of project preparation. This is why a well-prepared project, with expert guidance, is crucial for minimizing delays and ensuring a smooth transition.

To successfully approach lenders and investors, you need to present a comprehensive and well-structured package of documents that prove your project's viability. This includes:
  • Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS): Covers market analysis, financial projections (NPV, IRR, cash flow forecasts), risk assessment, and technical, legal, and environmental studies.
  • Business Plan: A detailed overview of your business, the project, and the management team.
  • Financial Model: A dynamic spreadsheet projecting the projects financial performance, including assumptions and sensitivity analyses.
  • Legal & Regulatory Documents: Project permits, licenses, land title deeds, and legal opinions on compliance.
  • Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA): Proves adherence to international standards and regulations.
  • Sponsor Information: Detailed profiles of the project sponsors and management team, including professional experience and financial standing.
