Project Debt Sizing & Sculpting Advisory | Financely
Establish project debt capacity and a workable repayment profile. Financely tests cash flow, coverage ratios, reserves and downside assumptions.
Size the debt your project can actually service
Your funding target is larger than the lender’s indicative debt amount, or its proposed amortization drains early cash flow. Financely tests the debt structure against the project’s operating cash generation.
For projects with an existing financial model, identifiable revenue assumptions and a defined construction or operating budget.
What you receive
Debt capacity scenarios
Reconcile cash available for debt service and test coverage constraints, interest, tenor and reserves. Show how lower output, weaker prices or higher costs change debt capacity.
A proposed repayment structure
Prepare alternative amortization profiles and quantify the resulting equity requirement. Present the assumptions and trade-offs in a concise lender discussion pack.
This is a focused extension of our project finance modeling work, applying relevant debt sizing methods to your proposed facility.
What to send us
Current model, lender indications, revenue studies or contracts, operating budget, tax assumptions, construction timetable and proposed equity contribution.
Can sculpting eliminate an equity shortfall?
Not necessarily. Changing repayment timing can improve the fit with cash flow, but weak economics, short contract tenors or insufficient coverage may still constrain debt capacity.
