Implementation of investment projects on a turnkey basis

According to the general definition, the subject of investment and construction engineering is the construction, expansion or modernization of engineering facilities limited by a certain place, time, artificial and natural environment.

This cycle of work is carried out in accordance with generally accepted models in order to meet the needs of all project participants.

Starting from the general idea of the future facility, the engineering team develops functional and structural concepts, drawings and detailed construction documentation, financial requirements and a strategy for attracting investments. This is a multi-stage process, which is based on consultations of the customer and investors with experts and the adjustment of project parameters, taking into account the requirements and real capabilities of the parties.

Each investment project that receives funds through bank loans, grants or project finance instruments must be implemented in strict accordance with applicable contractual provisions and standards.

A poorly thought-out and unrealistic project can result in financial and reputational losses for all stakeholders, so engineering teams strictly adhere to established standards.

Before embarking on the implementation of the project, the initiators must clearly understand the current framework and limitations of the contracts.

What changes in the schedule, quality, volume and cost of work can be made?

What changes will investors not allow?

Clear answers to these questions are critical to the future of the project and business.

Investors generally prioritize the selection of reliable contractors, acceptable investment costs and the initiator’s own financial contribution, and a professional and realistic project plan and goals.

The stages of project implementation can be as follows:

• Selection, appointment and preparation of the project team.

• Selection of contractors, which in practice comes down to the implementation of standard procedures, culminating in the signing of contracts.

• Implementation of the main part of the project, which consists in the implementation of a complex of construction and installation works, modernization, equipment repair, etc.

• Reporting, monitoring of compliance with the schedule and project management.

• Financing and material support of the project.

• Commissioning.

The above stages of the investment project implementation do not necessarily follow each other in the specified order. More often than not, they overlap each other to create a holistic process.

Financing of construction engineering and investment projects

Financing large investment projects is a global problem in any business related to the issue of the cost of capital.

This refers to the average rate of return that prompts potential investors to provide the company with the necessary long-term financing.

Before starting any project for a company, it is important to clearly define the start-up and operating costs that correspond to the resources that a business can allocate.

In Construction engineering and investment projects, among other things, it is important to match future financial flows with the necessary start-up and operating costs that the company will incur in the process of making the investment.

The initiator of construction engineering and investment projects must secure external funding for successful implementation of the projects.

Sources of financing for large projects

Project financing can be carried out using various sources, including self-financing from the company’s internal resources, large bank loans, share issues, leasing, budget subsidies, as well as complex project finance (PF) instruments.

Internal financing of projects is carried out using the company’s own funds, including share capital, profits and depreciation charges.

As a rule, this only applies to small investment projects, while large capital-intensive projects require the use of various combined schemes with the attraction of debt financing.

External financing of an investment project is based on the use of borrowed funds from banks and other financial institutions, subsidies and other sources. Each source of funding gives the business certain advantages, so the choice is determined by the specific business strategy, risks and scale of the project.

Project finance is one of the most affordable models for financing and implementation of  construction engineering and investment projects.

PF is characterized by the transfer of responsibility and financial risk of the project to a separate legal entity (special purpose vehicle, SPV), which is created by interested parties.

Debt financing is attracted by SPV and is secured by the future cash flows of construction engineering and investment projects, but not by the assets of the initiators.

In a “pure” project finance model, sponsors contribute certain funds to the SPV, but they are not liable for the SPV’s debts, and the debt is repaid from the project’s cash flows. Payments do not start until the project is completed and operational.

The project finance instrument is widely used, in particular, in wind energy, solar energy and infrastructure projects.

Funding for many public-private partnership projects is based on the PF model.

Construction engineering and investment projects provides, among other things, the selection of an acceptable financing scheme, which must ensure sufficient investment for each stage of the project, minimize risks and capital costs, and optimize the financial structure of the investment project.

Financing an investment project is part of the company’s overall financial plan, which includes not only new projects, but all the financial needs of the business.

In general, the problems of investment and financing are closely related.

Every company must maintain a debt ceiling that, if exceeded, would entail excessive financial risk. Investment projects must yield higher returns than the value of the money used to finance them.

Any financial decisions made by a company affect the price of its shares, the degree of risk and the cash flow. The company’s actions are limited by such aspects as applicable laws (including antitrust law), the scope of contracts and financial agreements, market factors and much more.

The most important decision in the context of the implementation of large investment projects is the correct choice of the source of financing.

Venture financing is less commonly used  as well as various mezzanine financing instruments for MBO deals, and so on. There are several ways for funding and loans for business in the United states. The most widespread ways to raise capital are by issuing stocks and bonds, as well as obtaining a bank loan

Loans for large companies and businesses in the United States: choosing a source

Although American legislation is generally liberal, high competition for capital between companies dictates tough conditions for raising funds.

There are several ways to finance a business in the United States.

Preparatory activities should begin even a few months before the planned date of the project implementation.

Activities aimed at preparing the company for raising capital include:

• Comprehensive analysis of the project and its business environment.
• Planning the necessary optimization processes and a schedule for their implementation.
• Professional development of a business plan and contract documentation.

Regardless of what type of business financing a company is looking for, it is always necessary to prepare detailed investment materials for its future partners.

An important role in the funding of business in the United States is played by the so-called financial investors.

These are venture capital funds, private equity funds or private investors (business angels or a consortium of investors). Finding the right investors can be a challenge as the highly competitive US capital market seeks the best solutions and investment opportunities.

Our experience in financing a business in the United States confirms that high quality investment materials significantly increase the likelihood of success in obtaining financing for a company.

In the classic case, the investor usually does not require any guarantees. The investor invests in the project and assumes the risk, expecting to increase the company’s business reputation in the future and / or share in the profits.

Factors influencing the choice of company financing

Early stage companies have limited funding choices.

Most often, bank lending in the United States is not available to them.

Basically, creditors’ doubts are related to the short life of the company and insufficient reliability.

As the company grows and investment risk decreases, the number of business financing options increases. Lenders take into account the company’s financial health, organizational structure, operating history, and a number of other factors.

The bank’s requirements for an individual entrepreneur and a limited liability company will also differ. In this case, it is impossible to say unequivocally which form of business is more expedient.

It is much easier for large companies with a long functional history to secure a long-term loan in the United States financial market compared to young companies or individual entrepreneurs.

Finally, borrowing must be based on a sound business model. Alexander Osterwalder and Yves Pigner (Building business models)

Our finance team provides professional financial modeling services.

CP Finance UK can assist you to build a business plan and prepare all the necessary documentation for fundraising and loans for business in the United States.

Large bank loans for business development in the USA

The United States has a well-developed lending market.

Banks providing business loans in the United States include Bank of America, Citibank, JPMorgan Chase, U.S. Bank, Wells Fargo and other well-known brands.

Business loans are one of the most commonly used ways to finance large companies and investment projects in the United States.

Possible business lending purposes include the following:

• Expansion or modernization of production.
• Purchase of real estate / equipment.
• Refinancing / debt consolidation.
• Replenishment of working capital, etc.

For most banks, even a small loss is unacceptable, which is why such risky deals are usually not approved. Of course, a lot depends on the attractiveness of a particular project, the situation in the company and its industry.

Financing a business in the United States with loans requires, among other things, providing the bank with information about the company’s current business situation and market conditions, as well as financial forecasts. The amount of information and the level of its detailing will depend on the specifics of the company, industry and loan amount.

Funding large companies in the United States through bond issues

Issuing bonds to finance business in the United States can be an extremely interesting alternative to conventional funding sources, primarily suitable for large companies seeking significant capital for investment projects.

Bonds can differ not only in terms of security, but also in terms of their redemption.

Therefore, the prospectus for the issue of convertible bonds often provides for “old” shareholders certain incentives for the purchase of such bonds or new shares.

The issue of corporate bonds plays an important role in attracting financial resources by business entities around the world, including the United States and European countries.

However, the qualitative features and quantitative characteristics of corporate bonds can simultaneously become both advantages and disadvantages for issuers.

Venture financing of large business in the USA

In simple terms, the early stages of development are the period from the beginning of the transformation of an idea into a business model to its early expansion. An early expansion is a phase that occurs after a positive market test.

Venture capital in the United States is viewed as a large over-the-counter capital investment in early-stage ventures.

Venture funds play an important role in financing young companies with ambitious capital intensive projects. The American market is full of successful venture capital companies, including such world-famous names as Intel Capital, Bessemer Venture, Tiger Global Management, Accel (Accel Partners), Kleiner Perkins, Khosla Ventures and others.

This is the moment when a company needs significant funds to bring a product (service) to market widely.

Since it is a hybrid financial instrument that combines the features of lending and equity raising, in the event of bankruptcy of the borrower, the debt will be collected after all loan obligations are repaid, but before the return of the share capital. In fact, the lender in the mezzanine financing scheme assumes part of the shareholder’s risks, and therefore expects the highest return.
