Our services are tailored to individual projects or particular business objectives. We cover a number of key infrastructure areas including, but not limited to, affordable housing, healthcare, education, and transportation. The services include:
Credit Risk Analysis
Analytical reports for project financings, securitisations, and individual companies and government related entities. Our reports assess both business and financial risk based on publicly available information and information provided by management. Our analysis can also assess the impact on the existing risk profile of businesses as a result of plans or proposals for key changes such as mergers, acquisitions, or project investments.
Credit Rating Advice
Advice on working with credit rating agencies, including the presentation of business and management information to achieve the best possible credit ratings from different credit rating agencies for a particular transaction or organisation. We also assess likely investor appetite for particular proposals, and work with businesses and credit rating agencies to secure the best outcomes to meet investor expectations.
Consultancy
Our consultancy work includes option appraisals in support of business decisions, analysing the strengths and weaknesses of different options on a qualitative and quantitative basis in consultation with key staff.
We also work with management to develop business plans and business planning tools, using sets of financial and non financial assumptions that are discussed and agreed with management. Stresses within appropriate ranges are applied to the various assumptions to test the robustness of the plans.
Economic Research
Our economic research provides key information in support of particular business options and business plan assumptions at a more localised or project specific level. For example, this would include and analysis of demographic and socio-economic data together with an appraisal of local competitive threats, which would inform the decision to acquire or build assets in a particular area or jurisdiction.
