Basics of models for financing of chemical plants industry

The financial health and models for financing of chemical plants of and enterprise directly depends on revenues, capital structure and assets.

These factors determine the level of financial stability, liquidity and efficiency of capital use. There is a direct relationship between groups of financial indicators that characterize the financial health of a chemical plant. Indicators of financial stability characterize the capital structure and dependence of the enterprise on external sources of financing and are related to the turnover of accounts payable, while equity is affected by the profit received in the reporting period.

In turn, solvency ratios, which reflect the ability of a chemical enterprise to fulfill its obligations in a timely manner, are closely related to the turnover of working capital and accounts payable.

Financial modeling and forecasting makes it possible to effectively analyze complex and uncertain situations related to strategic decision-making.

Therefore, the models for financing of chemical plants  serves as a financier’s instrument that allows considering a large number of “what if?” scenarios. Forecasting allows project participants to obtain the most likely scenario of business development based on the analysis of the current situation and propose measures for its correction.

Financial modeling is particularly effective for solving time-consuming problems that require extensive practical experience and a high-quality methodological basis:

• Assessment of investment projects, formation and revision of the investment program.
• Comprehensive risk assessment and management.
• Forecasting cash flows and dynamics of the company’s financial condition.
• Carrying out financial calculations of the business plan.
• Determination of optimal options for financing a chemical plant, its volumes and structure.
• Establishing regular business planning and investment decision-making processes.
• Modeling and evaluation of various business development scenarios.

Financial modeling is especially relevant in times of crisis, when the availability and cost of external financing decreases, the risks of loss of liquidity and business stability increase, and the most important condition for business development remains the growth of operational efficiency.

Models for financing of chemical plants provides a single solution to the following problems:

• Simulation of cash flows of planned activities and assessment of future financial indicators of the enterprise under construction.

• Finding and studying project elements, where the company’s financial resources will come from and what they will be spent on.

• Creation of a mathematical basis for project risk analysis and restructuring of the company’s risk management system.

• Ensuring continuous analytical work, allowing to quickly adjust and recalculate possible project options and business development scenarios.

• Significant time savings, as the model allows the financial team to avoid consideration of unacceptable options and unpromising investment projects.

Therefore, forecasting the financial health of the enterprise should be understood as the development of a system of scientifically based assumptions about basic and alternative structural changes in the assets and liabilities of the enterprise.

Given the complexity of the chemical industry in general, which depends on specific technological processes, fuel and electricity prices, market conditions, environmental legislation and many other factors, a complete financial model can be extremely complex and multifaceted.

CP Finance UK Finance’s professional team is ready to help you with financial modeling and forecasting at any stage.

Stages of creating a financial model of a chemical plant

In modern financial literature and practice, a large number of methodological approaches to the analysis and assessment of the financial health of chemical industry enterprises are proposed.

When choosing certain approaches to forecasting financial indicators, the following features of the forecasting environment should be taken into account:

• Macroeconomic risk and uncertainty caused by global events, changes in legislation, market trends and geopolitical upheavals.

• The development of a high-quality financial model requires professional processing of a large amount of information within a strict time frame.

• Most of the financial indicators of an investment project are closely related, so a change in one of them automatically affects the expected values of others.

It is not always possible to obtain a sufficient amount of data to build an accurate and complete financial model.

On the one hand, many innovative technologies in the chemical industry have a short period of practical use, and, therefore, a small amount of accumulated data. On the other hand, the impact of unpredictable factors can lead to both gradual and long-term changes in financial indicators and short-term impulsive deviations. As a result, the horizon of the developed forecast is narrowed, its quality deteriorates, and the scope of its application is significantly limited.

It is advisable to forecast the financial indicators of the enterprise using economic and mathematical modeling.

It allows the project team to display promising scenarios depending on a large number of factors. The adequacy of the forecast depends on the correctly chosen procedure and logic of building the financial model.

Typical stages of creating models for financing of chemical plants:

1. Collection and analysis of initial data for the financial model, including production and financial indicators.

2. Highlighting key factors that are considered drivers of the future financial model.

3. External factors affecting the performance of the chemical plant (market trends, exchange rates, inflation, gas prices, etc.).

4. Development and comparison of financial models of alternative scenarios or variants of investment projects.

5. Calculation of investment and financial indicators, in particular, the terms of long-term investment lending.

6. Analysis of the stress resistance of the project to changes in the external environment (for example, settlements with suppliers).

At the first stage of developing a financial model, information is collected and verified, on the basis of which modeling is carried out.

The reporting must meet the criterion of consistency (a continuous series of reported data) and comparability (the same methods of calculating).

The complexity and planning horizon of the model should be determined by the goal of forecasting and can be justified by increasing the reliability of the forecasted data.

Initial data for the financial model of the chemical project includes numerous macroeconomic indicators (inflation, prices for chemical raw materials and finished products, fossil fuel and energy prices, interest rates, exchange rates), expected sales dynamics for a specific market, operating income and expenses, debt service, taxation and dividends.

The financial model must include the following:

• Dynamic relationships of key project indicators, initial data and project results.

• The results of calculations and the main forms of financial reporting (as a rule, a forecast balance sheet, a profit and loss statement, and a cash flow statement).

• Predictive key financial indicators such as EBITDA, ROA, operating cash flow, debt-to-equity ratio, and integrated performance indicators calculated from initial data.

The experience of the leaders of the chemical industry shows that a high-quality financial model and business plan along with professional technical documentation becomes the foundation of a successful investment project.

CP Finance UK Finance is ready to offer comprehensive financial modeling and consulting services for chemical industry enterprises, mineral fertilizer plants, oil refineries and other industrial facilities around the world.

Financing of Electric substation

Global investment in the energy sector in 2020 decreased by about $ 400 billion compared to 2019, while Financing of electrical substations amounting to just over $ 1,500 billion.

An electrical substation is a key node in a power system where energy is converted to adequate voltage levels for transport, distribution or consumption.

The development of any sector of the economy that consumes electrical energy, be it heavy industry or mining, requires additional investment in the construction of electrical substations and other elements of the power system.

Growing competition requires businesses to implement more efficient solutions in various areas, including generation, transformation and transmission of energy.

In recent years, companies in the power sector around the world have been challenged to implement new technological developments at their facilities to improve customer power services while striving for better quality and price conditions. The cost of electrical substations is also rising, given the stringent requirements for energy quality, safety and facility automation.

CP Finance UK FINANCE, a financial specialists perform a full range of works on the design and calculation of technical and economic parameters of electrical systems and networks, including the development of individual energy projects for power plants, industrial facilities, transport hubs, and so on.

We offer financing for electrical substations and construction of the facilities in Europe, the USA, Latin America, North Africa, the Middle East, as well as in the countries of South and East Asia.

The offerings of our finance company include the organization of project finance (PF), long-term investment loans and much more.

Determination of the cost of financing an electrical substations

Engineering design and financial calculations of electrical systems are based on a detailed analysis and feasibility study of the initial parameters and data collected at the pre-investment research stage.

The chosen option for the implementation of the electrical substation project should ensure the supply of energy to consumers with the lowest investment costs while maintaining optimal quality, reliability and flexibility of the facility.

Multi-stage work to determine the cost of financing an electrical substations includes the search for structures, equipment, materials and methods for their connection, which ensure the achievement of the planned economic indicators of the project with the obligatory compliance with the technical standards of the host country. These works should be an important part of all projects for the construction, modernization, expansion or reconstruction of electrical systems of any scale.

After the approval of a specific list of equipment, materials and technical solutions, our technicians begin stage-by-stage work on the development of technical documentation.

At the same time, the CP Finance UK Finance legal team is working to obtain the necessary approvals from local authorities, licensing authorities, representatives of electricity supplier companies, etc.

The electrical substations planning stage usually includes, but is not limited to:

• Analysis of the existing power system of the region including determination of its load, regulation conditions, as well as the potential for further development.

• Assessment of the requirements of key consumers to ensure optimal operating conditions for the equipment and substantiation of the parameters of the future power substation.

• Analysis of the parameters of the connected power plants and the selection of suitable operating modes for each facility to ensure their balance and dynamic stability.

• Performing professional calculations of power grid operating modes in order to develop an optimal scheme of electrical equipment including transformers, automation, protection systems, compensating devices and other units.

• Estimation of the required costs, including the purchase of materials and equipment, site preparation and the cost of professional services, including the services of construction contractors, independent consultants, etc.

• Preparation of a detailed report with technical and economic indicators of the future system, stages of construction, funding requirements.

The engineering design and financing of electrical substations in general covers an extremely wide range of practical issues.

Along with a systematic approach, which should be aimed at solving strategic business problems, the engineering team is faced with numerous narrow technical problems, such as the most rational choice of protection and automation devices.

There are many techniques used to estimate project costs in the early stages of development. These methods, widely used in areas such as electrical engineering, include Phased EstimatingMulti-Element EstimatingFactoring Estimating, and Parametric Estimating, among others.

In general, the cost of electrical substations today can reach several tens of millions of euros, which depends on the type of facility, capacity, location, the degree of technical complexity of the project and a number of other factors.

The schedule of financing  for the electrical substations and the amount of funds received at each stage of construction should be drawn up individually, taking into account the conditions of a specific project and the requirements of stakeholders.

Factors affecting the cost of an electrical substation

When starting the engineering design of an electrical substations, it is necessary to clearly define its place in the power system, to determine the function that it should perform today and tomorrow.

When determining the parameters of a substation under construction, it is important to clarify the investment efficiency indicators. Investment decisions are made on the basis of analytical information obtained from various sources.

The cost-benefit principle states that value is created when the benefit of a solution exceeds its cost.

The financial cost of the construction of an electrical substation is formed under the influence of the following three variables:

• Cash flow of the investment project.
• Time of project implementation from idea to commissioning.
• Risks and uncertainties associated with the project.

Any financial decisions made by project initiators and investors are closely related to the value of money over time.

The money received the next year is worth more than the same amount when it was received in the fifth or tenth year of construction. Most financial decisions made at the large business level must take into account the change in the value of money over time.

The most important factors affecting the cost of financing an electrical substations are the type of facility and its location in the system.

Finding the optimal solution is often difficult and requires deep economic and technical analysis.

When choosing a specific technical solution for a substation, several factors are taken into account, such as the location of the substation and the length of the associated low voltage circuits, the type and layout of the site, the characteristics of medium and low voltage networks for connection.

Both investment and operating costs are taken into account when preparing an engineering project. The costs of construction of a substation, power lines and installations constitute the main costs incurred from the moment of making a decision on construction until the moment of putting this substation into operation. Operating costs mainly include the cost of purchasing electricity, maintenance, repairs and energy losses. The exact proportions of these costs differ for each project.

It is worth analyzing these costs not only at the construction stage, but also in the context of the long-term operation of the facility.

The substation should be designed in such a way as to ensure the appropriate quality of electricity supplied to consumers at the lowest possible cost. The power quality is determined, among other things, by the level of voltage harmonics, frequency, symmetry of the supply voltages. The substation must be flexible, that is, it must easily adapt to connecting new loads or increasing existing loads. It should also be simple and safe to use.

Factors affecting the cost of an electrical substation are listed below:

• The location of the substation and the length of the MV and LV circuits connected to it, which should be as short as possible.

• The type and design features of the facility that directly affect the use of space and the requirements for the site and premises.

• The power of the step-down transformer in relation to the existing or anticipated future electrical load.

• Investor requirements and operating conditions governing the selection of electrical equipment and ancillary installations.

The investment costs of a substation and transmission line spent during the construction and installation period represent any costs incurred from the moment the decision was made to build a given facility until its normal operation.

Investment costs include the following:

• Material costs (transformer equipment, protection systems, line conductors, supports, cables, fittings and other elements and materials).

• Costs related to construction (operation of equipment used in the construction of the substation, planning of works and hiring of personnel).

• Design and administrative costs (eg development of project documentation, obtaining official building permits).

Operating costs include the following:

• Costs for the purchase of electricity, as well as associated costs to cover energy losses (the latter depend on the resistivity of cables, expected power and consumer demand for electricity).

• Costs associated with the maintenance, repair and maintenance of an existing electrical substation and its equipment.

• The cost of a system failure (in other words, the cost of undelivered energy). The cost of energy not delivered as a result of equipment failures is determined based on the failure rate, taking into account the average number of failures per year and the average duration of failures.

Based on the experience of numerous implemented industrial and energy projects, our professional team can compare alternative options for the construction of electrical substations, choosing the optimal solution for the customer.

The financing of electrical substations requires in-depth knowledge and experience due to the numerous technical and economic factors affecting a project.

For example, the location of the substation close to energy consumers allows to reduce the cross-section of wires due to less voltage drop at a distance. This, on the one hand, reduces investment costs, however, reducing the cross-section of the wires in this case increases the operating energy losses.

When placing transformer equipment inside the premises where energy consumers are located, there is no need for the construction of an overhead power transmission line.

The disadvantage of this option is the need to allocate the appropriate equipped space, which may be associated with additional investment.

When choosing the design of the future electrical substation, our engineering team must find a balanced approach to parameters such as efficiency, loss rate, safety, access and ease of use, compact design, equipment size and weight, initial investment and maintenance costs. The final decision always rests with the investor.

When making calculations for large capital-intensive projects carried out over several years, financiers take into account discounting formulas that translate future flows into current values.

Investment consulting services in large projects

The management of a large business, its investment activity, expansion and development are increasingly determined by a correct understanding of the changing external environment and the adoption of the profitable decisions in investment consulting services in large projects by top management.

To survive in a competitive environment, every company must skillfully manage its resources.

Successful investment activity refers to the constant search and implementation of new projects, since the lack of progress not only worsens the company’s financial results, but also causes a general deterioration in business due to the inevitable decrease in the competitiveness of the products and services provided. For this reason, the use of advanced tools for collecting and analyzing information, as well as innovative financial modeling and decision making, is the key to the survival and long-term prosperity of companies in the face of growing competition.

CP Finance UK brings together a team of experienced finance and investment experts who provide professional investment consulting services for large projects.

We also offer long-term loans, organize project financing schemes and manage large projects around the world.

Investment consulting services in large projects: Principles and decisions

The multi-stage process of planning and implementing a large project is burdened with a high level of risk due to constant changes in the external environment.

Long-term investments require freezing a part of the company’s capital for several years and usually involve certain restrictions during the development and operation phase.

Experts note the high level of complexity of investment decisions related to the construction of large facilities, especially industrial facilities and energy infrastructure (for example, solar power plants).

Such projects are particularly complex and multifaceted, and the range of stakeholders can include dozens of companies and financial institutions, in addition to thousands of potential customers. All decisions related to such investments are subject to the risk associated with the uncertainty of financial, macroeconomic and legal factors that can change in the long term and adversely affect project participants.

Investments in fixed assets are associated with limiting the effects of asset depreciation and ensure the gradual replacement of aging equipment.

This, in a narrower sense, is a necessary condition for maintaining existing production capacity, which also allows for an increase in production volumes if necessary.

Investment decisions may also involve long-term or short-term investments in financial instruments of other entities in order to obtain control over them or additional benefits in the form of a part of their profits. An alternative form of investment could be lending to companies, which is an example of an investment decision with a clear financial component.

Investment decisions are among the most important activities of companies, which determine the basis of their functioning.

Their principles include the following:

• Irreversibility. Once decisions are made, they end up with losses or profits, and the business does not have real options to quickly correct the wrong decision due to the long-term investment planning horizon.

• Scale. An investment project can contribute to the successful development of a company or the deterioration of financial health up to bankruptcy due to a long-term freezing of significant resources. Investments involve significant costs, which limits the possibility of making alternative decisions on the allocation of funds to other projects.

• Risk. All major projects are burdened with high external and internal risks due to their complexity and dynamically changing environment. This requires the use of professional investment consulting services during the planning stages in order to reduce the level of uncertainty.

Any large project, including investment, must be considered by the participants in several planes in terms of scale, financial needs, as well as the complexity and goals to be achieved. In practice, this makes it impossible to standardize project planning.

Each investment is unique and requires customized financial and organizational solutions.

Since the implementation of an investment project is a long process, full of various unexpected situations, it is recommended to first determine and constantly optimize the resources necessary for its successful implementation. These resources include the knowledge, skills, experience and collaborative efforts of people, facilities and equipment, information, technology and funds.

This feature of investment projects requires the application of various complex evaluation methods in order to correctly assess their limitations, risks, cost, profitability or expected payback period. The more factors to evaluate and the wider the time horizon of the project, the more difficult it is to make the right decision.

Obviously, Investment consulting services in large projects are becoming a necessity the global investment world.

Decision making in investment consulting of large business

Making an investment decision requires the development of a professional plan, as well as the widespread use of up-to-date market information, taking into account the conditions of activity of a given business entity.

In order for the decision to start or stop investing to be completely rational, it must be preceded by the following activities:

1. External and internal analysis and reporting.

2. Evaluation of the project by static and dynamic methods, taking into account the change in the value of money over time and subsequent analysis of the results.

3. Selection of optimal methods for assessing investment risk to identify potential threats that affect the profitability of the project.

Major investment decisions should always be made incrementally, using a project-specific step-by-step model. In practice, the investment process is usually based on the individual approach of the investor, which increases the risk of not achieving the initial goals of the project. A careful step-by-step approach allows project participants to avoid serious procedural errors that can significantly reduce the profitability of an investment project or even lead to its failure.

Investment decisions are closely related to qualitative analysis and selection of investment projects.

They are regarded as one of the most difficult business decisions for the following reasons:

• High financial costs.
• Prolonged capital freeze and reduced liquidity.
• Relatively high investment risk.
• High dependence of the project on good planning.
• Introduction of immature / risky technologies.
• Uncertain investment outcome.
• Long implementation period.

The accuracy of investment decisions has an impact on the competitiveness of a business, its market share, as well as its ability to generate income.

Wrong decisions regarding the type, size or structure of asset investments can result in limited liquidity and reduce the flexibility of a company’s operations. In extreme cases, this means big financial problems, even the bankruptcy of the investment project and its participants.

In general, each decision in investment consulting should reflect the choice of the optimal business development program, created taking into account available resources and possible development directions, as well as related investment projects.

An important role in making investment decisions is played by the process of investment planning, within which there are several stages:

Investment initiative.
• Formulation of the investment problem.
• Definition of performance criteria.
• Identification of potential constraints and risks.
• Search for available investment project options.
• Comparative evaluation of options.
• Choosing the most suitable project.
• Search and attraction of financing.
• Project implementation.
• Control.

An important role in this process is the high competition for financial resources and limited access to external sources of financing.

When attempting to raise borrowed funds, participants must be fully convinced of the appropriateness of these investments. At the initial stage, an analysis should also be carried out, which will confirm the legitimacy of attracting resources to a specific project.

Investment decision factors for large projects

Investment decisions are long-term.

When considering them, it is necessary to take into account the influence of many factors.

Firstly, these are potential incomes, which depend on the demand for a particular product.

Secondly, financial costs, which are associated, among other things, with interest rates.

Finally, the investment expectations of participants and partners should be taken into account.

External factors determining investment decisions:

• Demand for the goods/services of the future enterprise, which can be estimated based on the official GDP forecasts of the host country and target markets.

• The economic situation of the host country and the investment climate.

• Availability of natural, financial, technological and human resources.

• Current and potential competition in the domestic and foreign markets.

• State policy: monetary, tax and investment policy, regulation of special economic zones, opportunities for depreciation of fixed assets, customs legislation, etc.

• The openness of the economy, including foreign trade, the movement of capital and human resources, the country’s participation in international trade and financial systems.

• Formal barriers to investment, such as import restrictions.

Among the external factors influencing the development of investment projects, the most important are expected demand, the cost and availability of external capital, as well as government tax policy, investment legislation, interest rate and exchange rate policies.

Factors that negatively influence investment decisions include high inflation and interest rate fluctuations. Inflation expresses the level of uncertainty in the economy and does not contribute to the efficient allocation of resources. Interest rates affect investments by changing the cost of capital.

Internal factors that determine investment decisions include the following:

• Availability, mobility, productivity and profitability of the resources of the companies participating in the future investment project.

• Access to external resources needed to meet project needs.

• Level of organization, management system and organizational culture, including knowledge and ability to collaborate effectively with other players.

• The ability of managers to adapt the company to the high variability of the environment.

• Opportunity and propensity to invest.

Internal factors that are of great importance for making investment decisions include the degree of utilization of production facilities and other available assets, the willingness of top-management to invest and the current financial health of the business.

So, what should be considered when making investment decisions? All factors can be grouped into external and internal, inherent only to certain types of projects. These determinants are included in investment models and cash flow models.

Making decisions about business modernization:

Projects that involve the modernization or expansion of an existing enterprise have some peculiarities.

They should be taken into account when making investment decisions.

A specific type of investment projects is the modernization of existing enterprises or the expansion of production capacities. Modernization is expensive and requires serious capital investments to improve the efficiency of equipment, train employees, attract external professional consultants to organize the further operation of the enterprise.

The reasons for the modernization of a production / energy facility may be the following:

• The desire of companies to develop and conquer new markets.
• The need to improve quality and reduce production costs.
• Changing the profile of the enterprise, diversification of production.
• The concept of increasing efficiency through innovative technologies.
• Environmental considerations, etc.

Investment consulting services in large projects are important element that ensures the development of existing economic entities.

Usually they are associated with the improvement of the processes occurring within these subjects, and leading to an increase in the efficiency of the management of available resources.

The purpose of making investment decisions to modernize / expand a business is to find better solutions in terms of production capacity, production methods and management systems. On this basis, companies can achieve a more favorable balance between costs and economic effects.

These actions are most often forced by changes in the external environment, such as changes in supply and demand, increased competition, or technical progress. For this reason, modernization projects, as a rule, are aimed at improving the organizational, economic, financial and technical structure of a particular enterprise to levels that correspond to modern realities.

From a practical point of view, the project for the modernization of a large company is subject to the same principles as any investment project, however, it requires a more detailed study of a number of elements of a feasibility study and other documentation.

What should be considered when making an investment decision for modernization?

On the one hand, technical processes and areas for future modernization are subject to a detailed assessment. On the other hand, each of these areas should be studied professionally for weaknesses that require immediate improvement (expansion) and the choice of the best ways to implement the project.

A plan of short-term corrective measures related to the implementation of reorganization or restructuring processes in certain functional areas of the enterprise harmoniously fits into the decision-making process.

Based on these and other plans, financial documentation is being developed to attract project financing with the participation of investors and credit institutions.

Unlike new investment projects, modernization or expansion projects may include investments aimed at introducing targeted changes that will allow the implementation of new development concepts while maintaining current production levels, costs, technologies and assets.

In the case of large enterprises, it often happens that even the best greenfield projects cannot replace perfectly prepared and organized modernization projects. This is recognized by business owners, investors, and financial institutions, who often consider modernization as the only alternative to bankruptcy and an opportunity to repay a loan or return invested capital.

Professional services in the field of investment consulting services for large projects

Experts in investment consulting help corporate clients systematize and simplify the process of making strategic decisions.

A thorough study of the current situation and market development forecasts allows professional teams to develop optimal recommendations for each project.

The participation of external experts and consultants in project preparation is important. As investments become more complex, competition and business demands increase, more and more participants in the investment process are interested in accessing appropriate investment consulting services or technical assistance.

This can positively affect the profitability of projects.

Investment consulting services in large projects can be offered at several levels:

• Government: Many governments and local governments develop government programs and develop industrial policies.

• Development Funds: Public and private agencies and Structural Economic Development Funds help companies search for large investment projects, build investment portfolios and prepare documentation.

• Commercial banks: these financial institutions provide due diligence on projects (verification of legality of funding and credit rating); they also finance the fixed and working capital of the initiators.

• Development Banks: Specialized banks act as investment consultants, evaluate investments from a banking point of view, calculate the profitability of projects and carry out financial modeling.

• IFIs: Major international financial institutions such as the World Bank are active in investment consultanting services, either directly or through local and international companies.

• International consulting companies or consultants: These entities are recruited for pre-investment research, management training, assistance in the creation and development of local projects.

A critical factor in the success of an investment decision is the right choice of consultants.

It is no secret that in many cases the quality of consulting services, including the quality of documentation prepared by consulting companies, leaves much to be desired. Despite this, the hiring of experienced experts or experts is most often useful and necessary for the preparation and implementation of a large project.

Leading consulting firms have at their disposal significant resources of macroeconomic information, including up-to-date statistical data that are not publicly available. In addition, they have extensive financial, economic and legal knowledge and competencies, as well as use invaluable experience and business contacts for the benefit of the client, which can maximize the effectiveness of investments and their economic impact.

Commercial construction lending: cost and conditions

The cost, interest and conditions for issuing a commercial construction loans differ from bank to bank only in details, because its general parameters are quite typical in all institutions.

Such a loan is provided for a specific purpose, such as the construction and expansion of a commercial property for sale or rent.

Repayment of the loan begins from the moment the facility is put into operation or the property is sold.

When discussing the terms of a particular financial product, it is important to take into account factors such as the bank’s margin, the applicable interest rate (for example, LIBOR), project timeframe, construction cost, assessment of the project’s profitability and creditworthiness of the client.

Typically, funds are offered for commercial construction loans for a period of 3-5 years or more, amounting to no more than 80% of the investment value.

To apply for a loan, a company must submit an application to the bank along with the documents listed above. Financing commercial construction involves large amounts of money over a short period, which also means high risk. It should be borne in mind that it can take up to several months for bankers to review the application and evaluate the project.

Obtaining a development loan for a new company that cannot yet demonstrate any construction experience can be difficult.

Banks offer loans only to companies that meet certain requirements, including financial stability, long experience in construction investments (usually at least 2-3 years), as well as collateral (for example, land plot) and initial contribution of at least 20% of the cost of construction. A commercial construction loan can also be provided to developers who will create a special legal instrument (separate legal entity) for the implementation of specific investments based on project finance.

It is generally easier to get a commercial construction loan for new companies that decide to set up a special purpose vehicle (SPV).

Banks are more favorable to such applicants, since it is easier for them to control the implementation of investments. In this case, however, the project documentation and partners’ credit history will have a big impact on the final decision.

Commercial construction loans

Increasing long-term investment in commercial construction loans and the consequent need for large sums make lending instruments very attractive for investors and financial institutions.

Loans to developers have provided strong support to major real estate sectors, including the construction of office space, industrial facilities, warehouses, shopping centers and other retail spaces.

Banks, credit unions, and investment firms often set up mortgage lending units locally, offering corporate clients a wider range of financial products on different terms.

Global commercial construction loans market exceeds 12 trillion euros and continues to show growth despite temporary difficulties.

Major players such as Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo continue to finance capital-intensive projects by providing commercial construction loans and other financial instruments to their clients around the world.

The US, UK, EU countries, UAE, China and other giants of the global economy are showing impressive gains in commercial construction amid increased competition for capital, requiring new, more flexible models for long-term financing of construction projects.

A development loan is a special type of loan issued by banks to developers who are engaged in the implementation of various capital-intensive projects, including commercial real estate. A loan agreement is usually signed for a specific purpose, such as financing the cost of building or expanding a commercial property held for sale.

A typical development loan is intended to cover at least part of the cost of a construction investment, which is usually very high.

Most often, developers need borrowed funds for construction:

• Office buildings.
• Industrial facilities.
• Warehouse areas.
• Multi-family rentals.
• Shopping centers.
• Other commercial properties.

The implementation of such projects is often estimated at tens and even hundreds of millions of euros.

Consequently, only a few developers can cover such large investment costs with internal resources. That is why in European countries and other Western countries, financing of commercial construction projects in most cases is carried out with the help of banks.

Developers can apply for large loans for a specific investment project by providing the bank with strong guarantees (collateral) and detailed project documentation confirming the feasibility of a particular idea. Obviously, banks must first evaluate each project in terms of risk and profitability. It is important to note that most institutions provide funding only to cover part of the costs of implementing investments, usually no more than 50-70%.

Moreover, funds are rarely provided to the borrower in full, but banks prefer to issue construction loans in tranches after the completion of subsequent stages of construction work.

Commercial construction loans are now available at many institutions because banks are willing to finance construction projects in many cases.

This is facilitated, for example, by a favorable situation in a particular segment of the real estate market, which minimizes the risk of investment failure.

In terms of how it works, a property development loan is in many ways similar to an investment loan for the construction of a house, which individuals take out against a mortgage. In both cases, funds are allocated in tranches as construction progresses, which are under the control of the bank.

Similar to individuals taking out mortgages, developers must also provide adequate collateral to guarantee repayment of the debt.

Financing large business through bank loan

Large business financing and  economic activity of a company can be funded  by capital coming from various sources. 

Capital, along with labor and land, is the basis for the development and survival of any business. It defines the limits of economic freedom of business entities and their investment opportunities. Considering the sources of capital, we can divide it into equity and debt capital.

Equity capital comes from internal sources (for example, from retained earnings) and from external sources (issue of shares).

Debt capital large business financing comes exclusively from external sources, such as loans, debt issuance or funds raised through financial leasing.

Effective commercial and investment activities are virtually impossible without the periodic use of debt financing. The need of large business for lending can be explained by both general economic reasons and some specific needs arising from the implementation of projects.

Reasons for using bank loans for large business financing include:

• Time gap between the movement of goods and funds.
• Inconsistency between receipts and expenditures in some transactions.
• The complexity of forecasting the company’s need for working capital.
• Seasonal fluctuations in production and sales of products.
• The need to implement large investment projects.
• Other features of a specific business.

The backbone of the global economy is now considered to be industry, agriculture and the service sector.

Growing competition in all these areas has led to an increase in demand for debt financing. The implementation of large investment projects, the introduction of new products, services and innovative technologies gives a competitive advantage, but such activities require knowledge, experience and, most importantly, large investments that exceed the resources of the business.

Large business financing are often forced by owners or investors to use debt financing sources such as bank loans.

Long-term loans enable companies to remain highly competitive and effectively address the various challenges posed by a dynamic globalized market and its participants.

Bank loan for large business financing

The role of loans in financing large businesses

Bank loan is considered one of the oldest economic categories, and experts call lending the heart of commercial banking.

For centuries, banks have financed businesses lacking free money. As a result, companies of all types and sizes can pay off their debt obligations and make investments on an ongoing basis.

Lending activities of banks are carried out through the use of money placed by other clients. Thanks to these funds, banks can provide loans for various purposes at an affordable price, which often influences the decision of entrepreneurs to use this simple source of financing.

The main functions of business loans in the economy are listed below:

Emission function. Each new tranche provided to a business contributes to the introduction of new money into circulation, while when the enterprise repays a loan, cash is withdrawn from circulation. Thus, the money supply, adapted to the needs of economic development, determines the success of economic policy and global economic growth.

Redistribution function. This means that bank loans can be provided to businesses through, for example, household savings in deposit accounts. This contributes to the most rational redistribution of funds that work for the economy.

The income functionmeans that, thanks to borrowed funds, companies can finance the current activities and development of large investment projects, which should lead to an increase in their income.

The control functionis directly related to the strategy of the lender. Credit policy is determined by economic priorities set by the bank’s board and long-term plans related to its operations.

The above functions form the basis for understanding the essence of debt financing of a business in the banking market.

Currently, business loans remain one of the most demanded forms of debt financing of economic activity and the engine of the world economy.

Numerous European studies conducted in the 2010s show significant differences in the attitude of SMEs and large corporations to bank loans. Young, slow-growing companies operating in small cities and countries with high inflation and low GDP per capita need more loans than others, but they rarely turn to banks due to serious risks.

Companies applying for business loans are, on average, older, they are larger and grow faster, they usually have an external auditor and experienced top management. Most of these companies are based in large cities and countries with low inflation and fast GDP growth.

Large companies have more market power, which they use to build and maintain relationships with banks.

As a result, large companies, which may refuse to finance in the banking market in favor of issuing debt instruments, still use bank loans.

In general, firms with better financial health use more external funding. Larger and more experienced businesses, as well as companies from the industrial sector, are more likely to get access to long-term bank loans compared to small and medium-sized businesses.

Bank investment loans for large projects

Investment loans are issued by banks for companies for specific purposes that serve the development of business.

This can be a modernization of a production line and even large investment projects such as the construction of a power plant or a new factory.

Due to the fact that the bank transfers large amounts of money to enterprises with a high degree of risk, the decision to issue an investment loan depends on many conditions.

The vast majority of banks will only consider applications from companies that have been on the market for at least 1-2 years. The application is a key document, since on the basis of the documents contained, the bank will determine the reliability of the applicant.

The most important points are the exact amount of the borrowed funds and the purpose for which the funds are intended.

This means attaching a carefully prepared business plan to the application, which should convince the bank of the feasibility of the project.

As a rule, bank investment loans for large projects are issued for a long term, reaching 15-20 years.

To obtain such financing, the company must provide adequate collateral and its own contribution, usually amounting to 10 to 30% of the planned investment costs.

The business plan should contain a detailed description of the project, including all the components necessary for the effective implementation of the investment, the original project plan / schedule, benefits and risks. First of all, the business plan should include an estimate of all costs associated with the investment. The estimate should include information on the amount of own contribution to the project, indicating the seriousness of the applicant’s intentions.

At CP Finance UK finances up to 90% of the cost of large investment projects, providing clients with flexible financing for a long time.

In many cases, in order to take advantage of an investment loan, the borrower needs to attract guarantors. If you do not have sufficient collateral, check out the offers of banks that issue loans against guarantees. It is a very effective tool to support companies with a positive credit history.

Any property of the borrower, assignment of receivables under concluded agreements, etc. can be used as security for an investment loan.

After submitting an application, the bank conducts a comprehensive analysis of the current situation of a potential borrower, carried out by analysts on the basis of the documents provided.

The decisive factor is the assessment of the applicant’s creditworthiness, that is, his ability to repay the loan.

Options for restructuring a bank loan for a business

The bank can restructure a business loan by changing the debt repayment schedule, adjusting the interest rate, providing grace period or by other means, depending on the agreements reached.

Business loan restructuring is gaining popularity and is increasingly featured in bank proposals.

Banks do not discourage customers whenever possible, but this procedure requires careful planning and preparation.

CP Finance UK FINANCE LIMITED is always ready to help large business in matters of bank loan restructuring and refinancing.

Project finance and long term investment loans in Malaysia.

The most famous small Asian country with great opportunities is Malaysia. The country has undergone a dizzying transformation over the past half century from a backward agrarian economy to one of the most advanced countries in Southeast Asia. With an economically active population of just over 10 million, Malaysia’s GDP exceeds $ 350 billion and continues to show strong growth. Investment and Project finance in Malaysia plays an extremely prominent role in this transformation of the region.

By relying on new technologies and advanced financial instruments, this country reduces its dependence on oil resources, conquers new markets day after day and looks confidently into the future.

Capital-intensive projects such as the Pengerang refinery, as well as the Pan Borneo Highway, Mass Rapid Transit 2 infrastructure projects are shaping the future of Malaysia using project finance tools and large overseas investments.

CP Finance UK, an international financial company, is ready to offer you with financing for an implementation of the most daring and ambitious investment projects.

We provide investment and project finance in Malaysia and countries of Southeast Asia, as well as comprehensive support for your projects.

Project finance in Malaysia: historical overview

The energy sector in Southeast Asia has absorbed most of these advances. It should be noted that Malaysia and its neighbors were the first markets where the first projects of “financial investors” were successfully implemented.

The oil and gas sector also plays an important role in the Malaysian economy, and local companies are investing heavily in oil production and the expansion of the local oil refining complex.

Analysis of the Asian market for large investment projects using project financing methods is of interest for several reasons.

Firstly, Malaysia, Indonesia, China and other countries of the Asian region have occupied more than half of the global project finance market in just 20 years, from the 1990s to the early 2010s.

Secondly, the development of this market was carried out on the basis of “imported” concepts of project finance, mainly originating from the United States.

Today, one of the striking examples is the unique Pengerang Refining and Petrochemical Integrated Refinery, which has a value of $ 21 billion. 

The Islamic financial market plays an important role in financing large investment projects in Malaysia.

In particular, the issuance of Sukuk (the Islamic analogue of bonds) is very popular among local companies.

The issuance of Sukuk in Malaysia reaches 30% of the global volume of this type of bond issue, which puts this country on the list of leaders in Islamic finance.

Transition to an innovative economy of Malaysia

In the 1990s, a lot of events took place in the financial world.

Thus, we have seen the rise and fall of commercial energy projects, as well as a slowdown in the development of private finance initiative (PFI).

Over the past 30 years, project finance in Malaysia has become a trend, contributing to the dynamic development of the local economy and the expansion of the presence of foreign companies. In general, the international character of project finance began to appear on the Asian market, which was accompanied by the implementation of numerous international pilot projects in energy, infrastructure and other areas.

The development of project finance in Malaysia and Southeast Asian countries has become a catalyst for the growth of the market for innovations in energy, IT and public infrastructure. The last stage in the development of PF in the region is distinguished by the transition to advanced capital-intensive projects of an innovative nature. These can be innovative infrastructure, industrial facilities, solar power plants or projects related to alternative energy.

In recent years, Asian players, including strong Malay companies, have begun to make more active use of PF tools.

Implementing important national projects (infrastructure projects, development of natural resources and power generation) and possessing significant assets, local companies aggressively enter the global project market.

The role of project finance in the economy of Malaysia

Project finance is an innovative way of organizing the financing of an investment project, requiring the initiators to create a new legally separate company (SPV, SPE) for the implementation of this project.

The future cash flows generated by such a company will guarantee debt service and the return of borrowed funds, and the distribution of project risks is carried out between the parties involved in its implementation and most prepared to cover certain risks.

Investment and project finance in Malaysia is peculiar, providers use (equity, debt, derivatives) and other financial instruments other types of contracts to finance a project.

The most important feature of the PF is that the project sponsor does not provide its own assets as collateral, shifting all responsibility for the project’s debts to the SPV.

The latter feature makes it possible to classify PF as one of the most risky forms of financing from the point of view of lenders. This requires a thorough analysis of the project and the development of an effective system of contractual relations, adapted to the risks and needs of the specific project.

The main advantage of investment and project finance for Malaysia is the ability to concentrate significant financial resources on solving a specific business problem, and to localize project risks at SPV.
