Leveraging Financial Viability Assessments to Secure Funding

Project funding is the way to turn your business plans into a reality, and often, it comes down to whether or not your project is financially viable. You want to show investors and lenders your project has economic value. If a Financial Viability Assessment is done right, it gives you a deep insight into your project’s ability to return and makes you look like a reliable and responsible investment candidate. In this blog, we’ll explore how to use a Financial Viability Assessment to increase your probability of getting the funding your project deserves.

Understanding Financial Viability Assessments

A Financial Viability Assessment is the best way to illustrate your project’s economic viability. It calculates major financial factors like revenue projections, cost estimates, risk factors, and anticipated returns, which are all important factors to consider when determining whether a project can pay its debts and profit. At Blackacre Surveyors, we offer comprehensive FVAs so you can pitch your project to investors and lenders.

How Does a Financial Viability Assessment Help Me Gain Investment?

Both investors and lenders always weigh risk against return. They also want to know that you will make enough money with your project to repay their investment/loan. A strong Financial Viability Assessment gives you the power to respond to your worries. It gives you a transparent understanding of your project’s sources of revenue, operating expenses, and risk management mechanisms. This transparency will lower the perceived risk and make them more willing to fund your project.

A good Financial Viability Assessment allows you to adapt your project approach to its cash flow projections. For instance, if your analysis shows high operating costs, you can optimise your project before you pitch it to investors to make your project more attractive.

How to Build a Full-fledged Financial Sustainability Report

We at Blackacre Surveyors will work with you through the entire FVA process. Here’s how we do it:

Conduct Market Analysis

Before we start working, we conduct an in-depth market study to determine how much people need your product or service, the competition, and market trends. This research is vital in building precise revenue forecasts and determining pricing strategies based on real-world scenarios.

Develop a Revenue Model

We work with you to create a solid revenue funnel showing how your project will make money. We’ll tell you how much income you’ll generate and how much it will grow so you know data and industry norms back your projections.

Estimate Operating Costs

Our consultants provide direct and indirect operating costs, from production and advertising to recruitment and upkeep. These cost estimations are very important for funding managers and investors to understand what’s required to continue your project.

Calculate Cash Flow Projections

Cash flow projections are an important part of our FVAs. We build monthly, quarterly, and annual cash flow forecasts, taking into account all revenue and costs. You will need healthy cash flow estimates if you want investors to be sure your project can pay for itself.

Assess Risk Factors

Every project carries inherent risks. Our approach at Blackacre Surveyors is proactive. We look for risks such as market cycles and regulatory developments and devise mitigation plans. This risk/repair process proves that you anticipate and are ready to deal with risks.

Calculate Financial Ratios

We calculate key financial ratios like Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and Return on Investment (ROI). These metrics offer investors a quick snapshot of your project’s profitability and future and show its potential for long-term viability.

Showing Off Your Business Model to Get Capital

After your Financial Viability Assessment is done, it’s time to frame it. So here’s how we can do something about it:
