Finance
Financing from the idea to sustainable implementation.
We provide full financial and project management support for development and investment projects.
Based on the business goal and the characteristics of the project, we map out the appropriate financing opportunities, create the fund raising structure, and then manage the project from obtaining financing, through implementation and settlement, even to the end of the maintenance period.
Financing approach
A good project does not start with the call for proposals or the financing product. First, we examine the business objective, development concept, required resources, and feasibility.
Based on these, we determine whether a grant, loan, capital injection, own funds or a suitable combination of these can represent the optimal financing structure for the project.
Our task does not end with the acquisition of funds, if required, we accompany the entire project life cycle from planning through implementation and financial settlement to the conclusion of maintenance obligations.
Four interdependent areas of competence
We do not start from a single scheme: we also examine a combination of support programs, discounted or market loans, risk and institutional capital, as well as other forms of financing.
Main tasks
- project and financing pre-qualification
- creation of resource map and financing alternatives
- identification of application opportunities
- examination of loan and equity financing options
- creation of a financing mix
- decision preparation and financial modeling
We do not handle the application writing as an independent administrative task, but as a project development process: we coordinate the support conditions with the business goals, the technical content, the budget and the implementation plan.
Main tasks
- project concept development
- compilation of application and financing documentation
- business and financial planning
- creating a budget and financing plan
- structuring of indicators and commitments
- handling gaps and clarifying questions
- professional support of financier and support organization negotiations
If required, we take over the coordination of the full implementation of the project and ensure that the professional, financial and administrative implementation remains in line with the support or financing conditions.
Main tasks
- project initiation and detailed schedule
- coordination of milestones and tasks
- following contractual and documentation obligations
- change management
- project progress control
- supplier and expert coordination
- financial and liquidity monitoring
- progress and management reporting Chapter
In the case of subsidized projects, settlement, reporting and maintenance obligations may persist for years. We manage their fulfillment with the same control as the preparation and implementation of the project.
Main tasks
- coordination of financial and professional settlements
- payment requests and reports
- project closure
- monitoring of indicators and undertakings
- maintenance reports
- documentation and control preparation
- full management of maintenance period
PROJECT LIFE CYCLE
A project. A coordinated process.
Several forms of financing, a single project logic
The choice of financing structure is never an end in itself. We build the solution that most efficiently serves the business and implementation goals.
Application and support sources
Mapping of domestic and European Union support schemes, tender project development, documentation and full-scale implementation.
Credit and financing schemes
Evaluation of investment, development and working capital financing opportunities, as well as integration into the project's financing structure.
Risk and institutional capital
Investigation of capital financing opportunities for growth and innovation projects, business and financial preparation.
Combined financing
Coordinating support, credit, capital and own funds in a way that simultaneously supports the feasibility of the project and the financial stability of the enterprise.
We are not only looking for resources.
We are building a project.
Funding decisions are always examined in the economic and implementation environment of the entire project.
Therefore, the Finance area can also be connected to the technological, R&D, innovation and expert competencies of X-Business as needed. In this way, a development project may not be supported by separate service providers, but by a coordinated financing, professional and implementation background.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
In which financial and funding areas does X-Business provide advice?
X-Business provides companies with comprehensive financial and funding advice – from mapping financing options and selecting grant schemes, through the financial planning of the project and the preparation of the funding documentation, to support during implementation and reporting.
When is it worth involving X-Business experts in a development project?
Ideally already at the planning stage of the project. Early expert involvement makes it possible to examine the investment goals, the financing structure, the funding opportunities and the conditions of implementation as one coherent system.
Does X-Business only write grant applications?
No. Preparing the application documentation is part of a broader advisory process. Our work can also cover project preparation, financial planning, the assessment of funding and financing alternatives, project management, and professional support during the reporting and sustainability period.
How is a funding opportunity assessed in advance?
As a first step, we examine the basic eligibility and professional requirements of the company and the planned project. We then assess the project's eligibility for support, its financeability and financial sustainability, as well as the key risks and obligations associated with the grant scheme.
What kinds of companies does X-Business work with?
We always tailor the advisory process to the size, operations, development goals and financing situation of the company concerned. The emphasis is not on applying a predefined template, but on developing the solution that is right for the project in question.
Do you also provide professional support after the grant has been awarded?
Yes. On request, we provide support throughout the entire project life cycle, including project launch, implementation documentation, change management, reporting processes and the related professional administration.
