Investment and Project Advisory
Making the right investment and project decisions is decisive for the success of businesses and organisations. Different factors are significant in each project and investment. Structured financing, property financing, PPP financing and project financing are frequently complex, and implementing them requires very specific know-how and commitment of company resources.
Analysis of profitability and economic viability of a project
The analysis of the viability of an investment or a project is of major significance, both from the company’s perspective and for external stakeholders. For these purposes, our experts evaluate different project variants and courses of action for investment projects, by describing and analysing the relevant payment flows. PwC provides support in all phases of national and international investment projects.
Structure and design
The design of a planned investment from financial, tax and corporate law perspectives is principally important for procurement of capital. PwC accompanies you in all phases, to guarantee an optimal project structure against the background of diverse financing alternatives and improved possibilities to procure capital.
Financial modelling
We prepare high-quality, state-of-the-art financial models, in order to depict all relevant details from project and financing agreements, in a flexible and user-friendly manner. Our financial models fulfil the following essential tasks:
- Description of project-specific financing structures and indicators, as well as calculation of scenarios and areas of sensitivity for the purposes of risk analysis.
- Use as a basis for decision making and precondition for successful communication with providers of capital or other stakeholders.
- Enabling the valuation of different options and alternatives, and providing support during decision-making.
Feasibility studies
We provide advisory services, assess the economic viability of projects, and carry out project viability calculations. In this context, a market test or a bank sounding can be carried out to assess the attractivity of the project on the capital market.
Risik analysis
Risk analysis, risk allocation and risk quantification are of central importance in infrastructure and capital projects for both internal and external stakeholders. PwC is happy to provide support in the identification and analysis of risks.
Support during tenders / PPP advisory
PwC provides support to both public and private sector organisations during tenders. In the public sector, we provide support throughout the procurement process through to successful conclusion. In the private sector, we offer financial lead advice and provide support on all financial aspects of the project.
Analysing alternatives
PwC provides support for the analysis of concrete partial implementation alternatives using a catalogue of criteria. In this catalogue, the advantages and disadvantages relating to the project are compared to provide you with a reliable basis for decision-making.
Operating models and life cycle models
In all projects, monitoring and transparency are becoming increasingly important. PwC prepares operating models and life cycle models for ongoing project controlling, monitoring of the observation of credit and loan covenants, as well as reporting for the lender. We also support project management and the finance and controlling department with their everyday tasks.
External project management and controlling
Today, major projects are becoming increasingly complex and multi-faceted. We help you establish professional standards using internal project controls or external project monitoring. With the support of PwC, project implementation can be guaranteed on time, at cost, and at the agreed level of quality.
Digital transformation
Digitalisation is transforming the way major projects and investments are planned, implemented and operated. Our experts provide support on software implementation to ensure your project has a decisive competitive advantage.
