Project finance modelling

How could you build a very simple project finance model? If you want a few clues, having an example to look at might just be helpful. That's what we've prepared for you right here: simple project finance model.

The specimen model is designed to be simple and, if you just want to get an overview of how project finance models work, it might be a good place to start. It's got many of the core elements you would expect (e.g. construction loan mounting up with interest unpaid while the project is being built, refinanced with long-term loan once the project is operating).

Unfortunately, it does have a few sections missing (like working capital - although we've left space in the model for these to be filled in). If you haven't seen this kind of modelling before, it might be hard to make much sense of it all without a bit of gentle and clear explanation. But that's the point of our project finance course!
