CUSTOMER'S NEEDS

The company is in strong international development, offering turnkey installations for the production of renewable energy.

Its customers are both public authorities, in public-private partnership contracts, and energy producers and operators in each country.

Its new markets are in both Africa and South East Asia.

To market its solutions, our client must offer both a technical solution and project financing.

Within 3 working days, we found an expert who met all the criteria and who was presented and retained directly for this mission.

  • Drafting of contractual agreements such as bank term-sheets;

During this mission, 8 new contracts in 6 countries were financed for a total of 65 million €.

Finally, our time-share expert concluded 4 financing partnerships with two infrastructure funds, a specialized bank and a renewable energy investment fund.

Among them, the implementation of project financing, the conclusion of partnerships, the structuring of new tools and the training of the client company's interlocutors.

CLIENT FEEDBACK ON THE MISSION

"Thank you for the responsiveness with which FIT in NETWORK was able to offer us a time-share expert.

The support provided, with milestones, was useful in adjusting the objectives as we went along.

At the end of this mission, which lasted 9 months, we decided to recruit a "junior financial manager" who benefited from training and experience sharing by the expert on mission. "
