Feasibility and financial coordination

CTB.

The financial picture, from purchase to payment.

What we can do

Illustrative context of a grain trading operation.

Taylor / CTB

Assess the resources the operation needs.

We set out the financial requirements of the business from purchase through to receipt of the sales proceeds. The work identifies when payments fall due, how much capital is committed and which conditions need to be assessed to support execution.

How much capital is committed.

Costs and commercial terms brought together to calculate the funds required.

When the funds are needed.

Payment and collection dates compared with the operation’s timeline.

Timing and resources

Between paying for the purchase
and receiving sales proceeds.

Purchasing, transport, storage, terminal handling, freight and insurance may require payments at different times. We organise this sequence to compare the operation’s timeline with the availability of funds.

What we can do

Costs, timing and funds
in one assessment.

The financial assessment starts with the purchase terms and follows execution through to payment. We bring the information together to identify what the operation requires at each stage.

Preparation sequence

From costs to financial assessment.

Preparation brings together the operation’s financial requirements and timeline. The calculations need to show the assumptions, the variations considered and the information still required.

  1. Compile the costs

    Purchase and execution costs organised by stage.

  2. Map the timeline

    Payment dates, receipt of sales proceeds and funding requirements.

  3. Compare scenarios

    The effects of changes in price, costs and timing.

  4. Prepare for assessment

    Assumptions, calculations and documents for specialist assessment.

Preparation: Taylor. The specialist assessment may require additional information before financial instruments and terms are defined.

Potential deliverables

before receiving sales proceeds?

Materials to compare costs, track cash flow and prepare the financial assessment. The set of deliverables is defined by the project and contracted scope.

  • Cash flow projection

    Payments, due dates and receipts mapped across the timeline.

  • Calculation notes

From calculations to assessment

Clear assumptions.
Ready for assessment.

The calculations need to show which terms were considered and what changes when timing, prices or costs vary. This foundation supports the discussion with the specialists responsible for the financial assessment.

01

Scenario analysis

Assess the effects of changes in price, timing, costs and commercial terms.

02

Preparation for financial coordination

Organise information and documents to assess financial instruments and institutions, with specialist involvement as defined in the formalised project scope.

Taylor’s contribution

We organise operational information, calculation assumptions and project preparation for assessment. Financial instruments, terms and providers are defined through specialist analysis and the contracting of each initiative. The connection with CTB is proposed and depends on a formal agreement between the parties.
