02 / How we work
The standard sequence of work on a project. The composition of the stages is refined to suit the task: some projects begin straight at the second stage if the assessment has already been done in-house.
Stage 1
We examine the starting position: the production base, resources, the market, and the applicable state support measures. We determine which of the possible projects is worth working up first.
Result of the stage:findings on the potential with a list of applicable support measures, and an agreed definition of the task.
Stage 2
We assemble the project’s economics: the production programme, capital and operating costs, the financing structure, performance indicators and sensitivity to the key assumptions.
Result of the stage:a financial model and an agreed project concept.
Stage 3
We prepare the set for the particular recipient — a bank, a development institution, a government authority or a private investor. Each has its own requirements, and the document is written to meet them rather than the other way round.
Result of the stage:a business plan, feasibility study, presentation and teaser — in the composition the recipient needs.
Stage 4
We draw up the list of recipients, send the materials, handle the correspondence, arrange meetings and support the negotiations — in English or Chinese where required.
Result of the stage:materials sent, meetings held, and the parties’ written positions.
Stage 5
We take the project further: approvals with government authorities, obtaining preferences, monitoring performance of what was agreed, and reporting against milestones.
Result of the stage:signed documents, decisions obtained, and reporting on delivery.
03 / Case
Raising investment · region
Support of an industrial region of Kazakhstan in attracting investment: development of an investment strategy, analytical reports on priority sectors in four languages, a set of one-page investment teasers, arrangement of investor visits and B2B meetings, and maintenance of a database of potential investors. The targets included engaging with 120 investor companies and arranging 24 investor visits to the region over the year.
04 / Documents
The five documents most often required when applying to a bank, a development institution or a government authority. We prepare them individually or as a set, to meet the requirements of the particular recipient.
A description of the project, the market and competitive position, the production and organisational plan, the sales plan, risks and mitigation measures, and the financial section with a forecast over the project horizon.
Engineering and economic analysis: technology and equipment, the site and infrastructure, requirements for raw materials and energy, capital costs, and the rationale for the delivery option chosen.
A spreadsheet calculation with separate sheets for assumptions and calculations: revenue, costs, taxes, financing, the cash flow statement, performance indicators and sensitivity analysis.
A document for negotiations with an investor: the substance of the project, the financing required, the structure of the transaction, the roles of the parties, the expected return and the exit terms.
A one-page project card for the first contact: the niche, key indicators, the site, potential partners, sources of finance, contacts. In four languages if required.
