ASHBOURNE Consulting Group
Project and Government Advisory

From the first question to financial close.

The Preliminary Project Review answers the first question. Our advisory practice carries the work forward: the feasibility case, the financing, the agreements and the structures a project needs to reach financial close.

We also advise governments on the rules and processes behind their projects, from regulatory reform and procurement to the capability of the teams who run them.

The same senior partners and the same verification discipline at every stage.

Independent review

A second opinion before you rely on a report.

We review feasibility studies, financial models and consultants' reports for governments, investors and lenders. Each review sets out what holds, what does not and what must be resolved before the client relies on the work.

Projects

Taking a project to financial close.

01

Feasibility studies

Where a project clears the PPR, we prepare the financial, commercial and regulatory parts of the full feasibility study. Engineering stays with the engineers.

02

Financial modelling

Project financial models built to lender standard, covering the capital structure, cash flows, coverage ratios and returns. Every figure traces to its source.

03

Capital raising

We prepare the case for lenders, development finance institutions and investors, and run the process on the client's behalf through to financial close.

04

Structuring

Ownership, governance and institutional options for project companies, statutory authorities and economic zones.

05

Agreements

Review and drafting of development, concession, operator and services agreements, with legal advice from our senior lawyers.

06

Due diligence

Commercial and regulatory due diligence on projects, partners, investors and contractors, with legal due diligence through our senior lawyers.

Government

Getting the rules and the process right.

01

Regulatory and legislative reform

Regulatory reviews, statutory mapping, international benchmarking, reform options and implementation plans.

02

Scoping and terms of reference

Scopes of work that define what to procure, and from whom, before engineers and consultants are engaged.

03

Procurement and tenders

Tender documents, evaluation criteria and procurement plans, so the right work is bought on the right terms.

04

Training and capability

Workshops and training that leave government teams able to apply the same disciplines themselves.
