Project preparation from a financial perspective

One of the biggest mistakes an entrepreneur can make is waiting too long to start thinking about financing.

Unfortunately, I’ve encountered this situation many times.

When it comes to investments...

...it’s worth determining the total budget and its funding structure as early as the planning stage. I often see projects that have already consumed hundreds of millions before financing even comes up. This is a serious mistake: if securing funds becomes difficult due to an unexpected event, the project may get stuck in a half-finished state, and the tied-up capital will only generate losses. Furthermore, the confidence of financiers is also shaken if they do not see a pre-planned financial strategy.

When working capital needs (orders, inventory, customer base) increase...

...the same applies: if we only start looking for funding once we see the increase in demand, we’re already behind schedule. The ideal credit structure includes a safety reserve, which provides flexibility even in unexpected situations.

The lesson: once you have a project plan and budget, bring in an expert before breaking ground. And if growth generates a need for working capital, prepare for it in advance—this way, you can avoid liquidity problems and unnecessary stress.

In such situations, I’m happy to help you explore what realistic, tailored financing options are available.
