Banking — IZB Syndicated Funding of $45M to a 60MW Solar PV
01

The challenge

The client (The Bank) needed a due diligence on the studies and auditing of the Financial Model provided by the company seeking funding. It was difficult to acquire this transaction as we were a start-up firm.

02

Our approach

We reviewed the project's feasibility studies, financial model, and supporting documentation to assess the robustness of the assumptions, methodology, and financial projections. We delivered a detailed report highlighting key strengths, gaps, and areas requiring improvement, together with practical recommendations and corrective measures. The engagement was completed within two weeks of appointment.

03

The outcome

Successful transaction — Our work contributed to securing a US$45 million syndicated financing facility from Indo Zambia Bank (IZB), supporting its largest solar project to date (2026). The engagement also identified cost savings related to Foreign Exchange, with the project now under execution in Choma, Southern Province, Zambia.
