🎯 The Seventh Compass: Financial Projections and Return on Investment (ROI)

The investor's single biggest question is, "When do I get my money back, and how much will it be?" The Financial Projections section answers this directly with verifiable numbers. This is where all the market, technical, and operational data converges into a coherent financial story. Project Profile Bangladesh (PPB) prepares detailed, multi-year forecasts. Therefore, we provide the ultimate proof of your project's bankability, while minimizing any ambiguity for lenders.

🎯 The Seventh Compass: Financial Projections and Return on Investment (ROI)

📅 Building Reliable Financial Forecasts

Financial forecasting is not fortune-telling; it is educated modeling based on firm assumptions, therefore, we build it piece by piece. We typically project the financial performance of the venture for five to ten years. These projections are grounded in the validated assumptions from the market study (sales volume) and the technical study (production costs). The model must be dynamic, because even small changes in inputs can lead to huge changes in outputs.

The Three Pillars of Financial Statements

We construct the three core financial statements, because each tells a different, essential part of the story. These statements are interconnected and must reconcile with each other to ensure accuracy.

Financial StatementKey Focus and PurposeImportance for Project Approval
Projected Income StatementShows the expected annual revenues, costs, and resulting Profit or Loss.Demonstrates the project's profitability and ability to generate net income.
Projected Cash Flow StatementTracks the movement of cash (inflows and outflows) month-by-month and year-by-year.Crucial for confirming the ability to meet short-term obligations and fund operations. Cash is king.
Projected Balance SheetShows the project's expected financial position (Assets, Liabilities, and Equity) at the end of each year.Confirms the project's solvency and stability over the long term.

Key Underlying Assumptions

The strength of the projection lies in the soundness of its assumptions, therefore, we clearly state every basis for our numbers. These assumptions include projected inflation rates, expected loan interest rates, average annual sales growth, and the depreciation methods used for assets. For instance, the assumed increase in the price of electricity in Bangladesh is clearly stated. This transparency is crucial, because investors want to test your thinking.

📈 Calculating Return on Investment (ROI) Metrics

ROI metrics are the language of capital, therefore, every lender demands to see them. These calculations determine the fundamental economic viability of the entire project. We calculate the three most vital metrics: Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and Payback Period.

Net Present Value (NPV)

NPV is the most direct measure of value creation, because it translates future profits into today's money. It is calculated by discounting all future net cash flows back to the present using a required rate of return. A project must have a positive NPV to be considered financially viable. If the NPV is negative, it means the project will destroy value, and you should not proceed.

We always recommend a positive and substantial NPV, because a small margin is too risky.

Internal Rate of Return (IRR)

The IRR is the annual rate of return the project is expected to generate, which is why it is compared to the cost of capital. The IRR should be comfortably higher than the weighted average cost of capital (WACC). For example, if borrowing money costs 10%, an IRR of 18% is very attractive. The larger the difference between IRR and WACC, the more financially robust the project is. This metric allows investors to compare your project with other investment opportunities.

  • Payback Period: This simple metric shows the number of years required to recover the initial investment amount. Shorter periods are preferred, especially in developing markets like Bangladesh.

A Guide to Building a Bankable Project Proposal

Image
Introduction: Decoding the Concept of "Bankability" In the lexicon of project finance, "bankable" is a pivotal term. However, its definition is not fixed; it is shaped by the unique perspective of the financier assessing an investment opportunity. A project achieves bankability when its balance of risk and potential return is deemed acceptable by a lender, instilling in them the confidence to commit capital. This is not an inherent characteristic of a project but rather a verdict delivered by a financial institution. Therefore, a bankable project proposal is not a one-size-fits-all template but a persuasive, strategic document crafted to meet the specific criteria and address the core concerns of its intended financial audience. Viewing Through the Financier's Lens The criteria for what makes a project bankable can differ substantially among various types of financiers. Grasping these differences is the foundational step in developing a compelling proposal. Comm...
