Development Phase Sources and Uses Funds (Manual and Excel Template)

Description
The development phase in a project finance transaction may last from couple of months into years depending of the technology, scale or even where the project is situated. Throughout the development process and up to financial close date, developers will have to mobilise their own staff and incur traveling costs (internal development costs) and also buy licences and permits, hire external consultants and advisors to perform different studies (External development costs). The other side of the story is how to finance these costs.

In this manual and Excel template, I show you:
- Why you need to consider building the development phase into your project finance models
