Build Project Finance models from scratch and discover their economic feasibility using NPV & IRR (Levered & Unlevered)

What's Inside

After our 360o Financial Modelling Course, we now progress to the next stage of Project Finance Financial Modelling.

Here are 3 key differences between Project Finance (PF) and 360o Financial Modelling (360oFM):

  • Time Horizon: 30+ years in PF vs (5 years in 360oFM)
  • Historical Data: No Historical Data in PF vs (5 years historical data in 360oFM)
  • Economic Feasibility: NPV and IRR in PF vs (DCF Valuation in 360oFM)

Learn to build client-ready deliverables from scratch (literally, we start with Ctrl N) and in every phase become better with:

  • Excel Shortcuts
  • Industry Best Practices
  • Time-Saving Tips & Tricks
  • Important Do’s & Don’ts
