INVESTMENT PROJECTS

Esnec Oy has superior competencies to support your investment projects in a professional manner, including:

  • Pre-feasibility Studies
  • Feasibility Studies
  • Assessment Services

Esnec Oy offers independent services for greenfield and brownfield investment projects.  The investment projects are typically executed using a step-by-step approach.  The first step involves a pre-feasibility study to analyse the technical concept and then develop the basic elements for the specific business needs.  The next step includes a viability study to develop an investment program and verify business case feasibility.

Esnec Oy has a proven track record of superior execution of the entire investment project or rendering a second opinion of the client’s own investment plans.

Typically, investments are broken down into maintenance CAPEX, short-term CAPEX and long-term CAPEX. The investment project could be a greenfield to build a new capacity or a brownfield to refurbish or replace the existing capacity.

Pre-feasibility study

The aim of the pre-feasibility study is to create a preliminary business case concept and assess feasibility of the investment project.  It could involve the entire business case or individual investment items (short-term & long-term CAPEX, for example).

The content of the pre-feasibility study typically includes a market demand analysis, definition of investment requirements and a technical concept.  Esnec Oy is fully equipped to make independent screening of potential equipment vendors in order to select the best available technology alternative matching your needs. Pre-feasibility study also includes a financial analysis to justify economical viability of the CAPEX project.

Assessment Services

Esnec Oy offers assessment services for your investment/business case projects.   A second opinion plays important role as it can provide rationale for your CAPEX/business case plans and mitigate business risks.  Typically, the second opinion is requested before the final investment decision-making and is presented to the Board of Directors or your financial institutions.

We will evaluate your project documentation and give our opinion and recommendations based on extensive international experience.

Feasibility Study

Our feasiblility study is a broader and more in-depth assessment over the pre-feasibility study that provides a solid base for the investment decision-making.

The content of the feasibility study typically consists of a background overview, investment project goals and a market study to verify the demand and realistic key figures such as raw material costs and sales price outlook.

Technical assessment is also one of the key components of the feasibility study.  This includes a deep-dive analysis of the potential technology alternatives and the recommendation of this technology to match your specific needs.

Feasibility study also includes a financial and profitablity analysis of the investment project.
