Financial Services
Advisory
We provide
general Advisory services using independent and expert
resources to assess clients’ opportunities
and threats. We have a range of real world experiences
as well
as extensive advisory experience in a significant
range of projects since 1993.
Our combination of financial and industry
expertise assists us in answering the critical questions
that often face
stakeholders. Our function is often as a financial
communication medium
working with the interested parties to answer
these questions, identify
opportunities and risks and implement strategies
that reduce risk and enable an opportunity to
be pursued.
Feasibility and Best Use Assessments
We undertake traditional feasibility and demand
assessments for both developers and financiers.
We believe these assessments should not be
relied on alone and they have often been
misused as
they only
consider part of the critical pre-development
criteria. We seek
to add
value and reduce risk by conducting a full
development review and
best use analysis, examining alternative
development approaches
including the sensitivity of development
and operating assumptions. In particular
we believe
it is in
our clients’ interests
to consider the total investment and development
feasibility, including return on capital
and internal rate of return,
rather than solely considering the operating
performance so that overall
development risk may be managed.
Our combined development and operational
experience enables us to commercialise
the project design
in the pre-development
phase improving master plans and detailed
design before commencing.
Workouts & Reconstruction
We have considerable experience in assessing
the financial position of an entity in
times of financial
stress.
Our combined industry and insolvency
expertise assists in
the design of
a workable restructuring plan which takes
into account the interested parties’ varying needs.
A workout or reconstruction is not necessarily
public and does not involve the formal
appointment of an
insolvency
practitioner. We have conducted a significant number
of assignments of this nature. Our
relationships with industry
participants enables
us to introduce new parties that can
help solve financial distress.
We do not accept formal insolvency
appointments to avoid the conflict
of interest that
may otherwise arise. This
ensures we can continue to provide
independent client
focussed advice.
We can assist in coordinating a formal
insolvency appointment if required.
Financial
Services
We provide a complete range of financial
services to hotel and resort investors,
developers, financiers and operators. Financial services include:
Lender Advisory
Advisory services
designed to assist financial institutions
in
determining whether to
make an initial
loan, loan extension or to secure
appropriate loan protection.
Project
Finance
We facilitate securing debt and equity for both development
and investment
purposes. Our
experience in acting for both
debt and equity providers enable us
to
address
their key questions and understand
their decision and risk criteria.
Independent Reports & Analysis
We provide
independent expert advice and
analysis that
uses our knowledge base and experience.
Valuation Reviews
We have a detailed understanding of the
valuation process. We bring
a commercial approach to the valuation process
which look forward as well
as considering historical sales evidence. Our transaction experience adds
to the
valuer’s
knowledge and skills.
