Project Readiness Checklist

Before a credit committee looks at your projections, it wants to know that the basics are in place. Tick what is ready today. The score shows how much structuring work stands between your project and a report a lender can approve.

Why each point matters

  • Site secured: lenders take security over the site, and approvals depend on it. Title and land-use problems found late delay everything else.
  • Technology finalised: machinery quotations drive the cost of project, the capacity claim and the subsidy calculation.
  • Cost of project built up: unsupported costs are the most common source of appraisal queries and cost overruns.
  • Promoter contribution identified: banks release loans only after the promoter's share is in; a gap here stalls disbursement.
  • Incentives mapped: some incentives must be applied for before investment starts, and the choice of policy can change the means of finance.
  • Market evidence assembled: orders, enquiries and buyer commitments make revenue projections credible.
  • Projections stress-tested: a project that only works in the best case will not get past a credit committee.
  • Working capital assessed: under-funded working capital is a leading cause of stress in the first years of a new unit.
