• Feasibility Assessment: Conduct a comprehensive feasibility study, including market analysis, technical analysis, financial analysis, and environmental and social impact assessments.

2. Financial Modeling & Analysis

• Develop Financial Projections: Create detailed financial models, including income statements, cash flow statements, and balance sheets, to project the financial performance of the investment.
