ASTC helps companies answer three core financial questions: is this project viable, what is the business worth, and how should it be funded.
1. Financial modelling
We build integrated three-statement models (income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement) for planning, fundraising and investment decisions.
- Built on the principle of transparent assumptions: all inputs are separated from calculations and sourced
- Includes automatic balance checks and consistency checks between the three statements
- Delivered with a user guide so the company can maintain the model itself
2. Project appraisal
| Area | Metrics |
|---|---|
| Financial viability | NPV, IRR, payback period, discounted payback period |
| Funding structure | Debt-to-equity ratio, repayment schedule, debt service coverage |
| Sensitivity analysis | NPV/IRR response to movements in the key input variables |
| Scenario analysis | Base, downside and upside cases, each with its stated assumptions |
3. Business valuation
- Discounted cash flow (DCF)
- Market comparables — comparable companies and comparable transactions
- Asset-based approach for asset-heavy businesses
- We present a value range rather than a single figure, with analysis of the drivers behind it
4. Capital structure and fundraising advice
- Review the current capital structure and additional debt capacity
- Compare funding options: bank debt, equity, parent company funding, or a combination
- Prepare the financial information package for lenders or investors
- Support in responding to financial due diligence questions from the funding side
How we work
| Principle | What it means |
|---|---|
| The assumptions are yours | We do not fill in missing data. Every input assumption is provided or confirmed by the company and sourced in the model |
| Transparent calculation | Every aggregate figure shows its formula so you can verify it |
| Alternatives are always shown | Every financial conclusion comes with sensitivity analysis on the key variables |
Limitation of responsibility: our financial advisory reports are prepared from assumptions and data provided by the company at the time of the engagement. The results are not a guaranteed forecast of future performance, are not a valuation certificate under the legislation on pricing, and the investment and funding decision rests with the company.
