Financial modelling is simply the building of an abstract representation of a real world situation. Built around company financial reports applications can include:

• Business valuation, especially discounted cash flow, but including other valuation problems
• Scenario planning and management decision making (“what is”; “what if”; “what has to be done”)
• Capital budgeting
• Cost of capital (e.g. WACC) calculations
• Financial statement analysis (including of operating- and finance leases, and R&D)
• Project finance
• Mergers and Acquisitions (i.e. estimating the future performance of combined entities)

Such models form in important part of the investment process, and Equity Vision’s years of experience can be put to good use in their creation.

Equity Vision will endeavour to present the business to investors in a holistic way, bringing together financial forecasts, product and competitor information, and human resource assets in a clear and comprehensive plan.
