How We Help

We combine core competencies in renewable energy finance, project tax credits, enhancements, and economics with deep clean energy expertise and industry contacts. We work with a variety of industry stakeholders — investors and lenders, start-ups and established companies, and industry associations which allows us to deploy our skill sets that match the opportunity and deliver success for our clients.

Financing and restructuring advisory

BCA starts at the very beginning in terms of articulating the transaction rationale and developing the process and timetable and then leading that process through all phases. Typically, the process has two core stages — a financial due diligence stage, in which identifying and sharing all relevant financial information is identified; and the advisory stage, in which we coordinate the client’s efforts to liaise with the shareholders, financing parties (existing and incoming), and their stakeholders. Our goals as advisers are to ensure that the process runs smoothly, that the process unfolds on the established timetable, and to extract maximum value for our client.

Commercial, Financial and Tax Due Diligence

Clean energy companies face transaction opportunities and challenges across the entire risk/return spectrum. Many lack the experience and skills to fully understand or manage the demands of these opportunities. BCA offers financial due diligence advice and hands-on support, project specific underlying working capital and net debt profiles, and forecast sensitivity analysis. The result is that our clients complete transactions that are sound and sustainable.
