Who it's for

Sponsors ready to build the full financing case and be taken through due diligence to close — typically after an Assessment has established exactly what is missing.

What it is

Where the Assessment diagnoses, the Build-Out delivers. FTA&C restructures the project for financeability where it needs it, builds the missing documentation suite, assembles the lender-grade data room, and manages due diligence through to a signed agreement.

Why engagement-based, and not a fixed fee

This is continuous support through to financial close, not a single deliverable handed over at the end. Documentation preparation is inherently scope-uncertain — you don't know what is broken until you look. A fixed fee on that basis either under-delivers or is abandoned when scope grows. A monthly engagement, with a three-month minimum, means the work continues for as long as it genuinely takes.

One accountable point of contact

FTA&C leads and orchestrates, bringing in vetted regional and specialist partners where a project needs them — in-region market research, technical and feasibility consultants, environmental and social specialists, legal counsel. You are told who is involved and why, and you deal with one accountable point of contact throughout.

What we buildScope
Structure

Restructure for financeability

Re-engineering the SPV, risk allocation and cash-flow waterfall where the current structure will not pass lender scrutiny.

Documentation

The core document suite

Business plan, financial model and projections, feasibility study, funding requirement and fund-utilisation plan, investment proposal.

Data room

Lender-grade data room

Assembled, indexed and populated to the standard a financier's advisers expect to find on day one.

Due diligence

DD preparation & management

Due-diligence questionnaire responses, and preparing the owner for the financier's independent due diligence.

Delivery

Delivery-partner facilitation

Facilitating EPC and construction partner introductions where the project requires them.

Through to close

Gap-closure & investor Q&A

Ongoing gap-closure and investor questions through to signed MOU and progression to financial close.

What you receive

A complete, lender-ready documentation set and data room, with full due-diligence support through to signed MOU and progression to financial close — delivered continuously for as long as the engagement runs, not as a one-off handover.

Specialist partner costs are additional, passed through or bundled, and always agreed with you in advance.

Questions about this stepFAQ
Do you raise capital or place debt?

No. FTA&C is a project finance advisory practice, not a broker-dealer or placement agent. We do not raise money, and we do not promise introductions to lenders or guarantee financing.

What we do is prepare and structure your project so that it is fundable to international standards. Once the package is lender-ready, we support you through lender engagement and due diligence — working alongside your appointed lead arranger or investment bank through to financial close.

How do you differ from a Big Four firm or a major investment bank?

We operate a principal-led model. Your project is handled directly by the principal, with senior specialist associates brought in by name where a jurisdiction or discipline requires it — not passed down to junior analysts learning on your project.

Because the practice does not carry tier-one global firm overheads, you get international, DFI-grade rigour at boutique economics.

At what stage should a sponsor come to you?

The earlier the better — ideally during project development, before the offtake, EPC and O&M contracts are finalised. Fixing a flawed commercial structure during development costs a fraction of restructuring a deal after lenders have already turned it down.

That said, sponsors also come to us when a project has stalled mid-process, or when moving from early equity funding to long-term project debt.

What happens to my confidential documents?

Confidentiality is fundamental to the practice. Before you share any project data, pitch decks or financial models, we execute a mutual non-disclosure agreement.

All files are handled through secure, encrypted data rooms, and access is restricted to the principal and any named specialist associate working on your engagement, each of whom signs an NDA before seeing your documents.
