The need
Investors need to expand their portfolio of opportunities, yet keeping control on costs and risks. It is of paramount importance to identify and promote those projects having low levels of risk and an adequate return.
Our approach
BEN helps the investor with a professional support in the analysis of technical, economical, contractual and market aspects. Our approach helps satisfy these needs in a timely and effective manner. The Business Plan is a frame that can be used either: internally, to enhance the definition of the business and to assess all risks and opportunities, or externally, to support or find partners or to raise funds. It is extremely important to ensure that the implementation plan be carried out properly and with no delay or cost over-run. Quality, budget and time control is crucial for the Developer and for the financing institutions that are supporting the project and therefore any potential deviation needs to be addressed and corrected on time.
BEN carries out technical and economical Due Diligence activities focusing on a detailed analysis of the operations from an industrial standpoint. Operating and Capital expenditure items are reviewed in detail and checked against own references and benchmarks. This analysis leads to a clear assessment of the business' ability to generate cash (EBITDA) in a time perspective.
