What You Must Know When Seeking Project Financing
My short presentation given at the International Biomass Conference covering the foundations of project finance inclusive of the top 10 pitfalls & mistakes made by developers:
1.Underestimating the time it takes to get through financial close.
2.Too much optimism in financial model (trust-factor).
3.Lack of understanding that risk allocation and credit worthiness impacts rates.
4.Not understanding the credit committee review process.
5.Underestimating the required cost to close project financing.
6.Lacking a fully resources owner team.
7.Insufficient development capital.
8.Not listening to advisors.
9.The financial model return profile determines your budget and strategy.
10. Not placing enough emphasis on startup, commissioning & operations
CEO at Nexus PMG
Unlike all other c-level positions, the word “Executive” does not tell us what a CEO is responsible for. It is the odd man out. A more appropriate title is Chief Vision Officer (CVO). My job is to define, embrace and protect our company’s vision and Just Cause of bettering our planet. This is accomplished by taking accountability for deciding when short-term finite costs are worth it to advance our infinite vision. I am responsible for ensuring our employees are fulfilled, and that their well-being is put far ahead of the bottom line. I want everyone to know WHO we are and what we stand for well before they know what we do.
I want to help build better people in order to build a better world.
