Project Report
Preparing a project report requires a thorough appreciation of the specific business and its dynamics; an eye for detail; rigour; financial structuring and modelling skills. The primary objective of a project report is to establish the fundamental feasibility of the project, apart from facilitating sourcing of loans.
Most often, entrepreneurs look at a project report only to help raise finances without paying much attention to the basic viability. This approach often leads to a situation of the business becoming unviable either because of improper financial structuring or its fundamental unviability. These could be on account of not cognising all relevant capital costs, incomplete assumptions on operating costs and revenues, not carrying out risk sensitivity evaluation, to name a few.
We at Vantage can help you establish the feasibility of your business idea comprehensively. Our thoroughness and rigour of approach is a true differentiator. Our project feasibility reports, apart from enabling you to build conviction on your project, will also help you approach financiers for funding assistance.
We also have expertise in industry sector reports in addition to business specific project reports.

Financial Advisory
The financial structure should aid business rather than become a constraining factor for day to day operations and enabling growth. Often, in the anxiety to keep operations running, businesses opt for financing options which may adversely impact the debt-equity structure, short-term vs long-term funding balance and lead to misutilisation as well.
We at Vantage can help you arrive at the optimal financial structure, tenure, and correct the mismatches through restructuring. Our diagnostics are designed to throw up these anomalies. Apart from giving you the impact analysis feedback, we can also support you in implementing the restructuring.
We have been able to help businesses completely turn around their fortunes for the better, with timely and appropriate financial restructuring. A few of them have gone on to an accelerated growth and profitability path thereafter.
