Nuovo Capital Advisory

Funding structures every partner can test for themselves.

The Nuovo Financial Model sets out who funds a scheme, how long it is held, when each equity partner is repaid and how the exit works. Your investors, lenders and partners explore it in a live dashboard that gives the same answers as the audited Excel model.

How a scheme is funded and repaid

Illustrative allocation

Costs are met month by month

Each month's development costs are drawn from the funding sources in their agreed order of priority, so the model knows exactly when each partner's money goes in.

Four questions the model settles

Every scheme gets its own model, built from its development appraisal, programme and funding terms. Whatever the scheme, the model answers the same four questions, and shows how each answer changes when the inputs do.

Funding mix

Who puts in what, and in which order: grant, patient equity, private equity, development and investment loans, each drawn through the monthly cash flow.

Hold period

How long to hold the scheme after it opens so that every equity partner reaches its target return. The model finds the earliest point that works.

Timing of equity returns

When each partner is repaid: income swept back during the hold, then the exit proceeds paid through the waterfall in the agreed order.

Exit arrangements

A sale or a refinance at the end of the hold, net of purchaser's and vendor costs, with the proceeds following each tranche's terms.

From your scheme to a dashboard your partners can use

The Excel model stays the reference. The dashboard is how your partners use it, without passing a workbook around.

  1. We build the model for your scheme

    Nuovo tailors the Excel model to your project and your funders, from the development appraisal, programme and term sheets.

  2. We prove the dashboard against it

    Every month of cash flow, every waterfall and every return in the dashboard is checked against the workbook before you see it.

  3. Your team and partners test it

    Sign in, move the inputs, add funding scenarios and compare them side by side. Every save is kept as a version you can reopen.

From one scheme to a whole programme

The same model, applied across many schemes at once: your own portfolio, or a programme of schemes put forward by others for funding.

Portfolio Function

Brings all of your projects together. See their combined funding requirement and cash flows on one timeline, rank schemes by how soon they return capital, and stack them against the capital you have to invest, year by year.

In Multiple Projects and Enterprise

Funders Programme Dashboards

For bodies that fund other organisations' schemes. Applicants submit their funding scenarios to your programme; you see what each scheme needs and repays, a priority order, and how the programme fills your budget year by year. Applicants never see each other's schemes.

In Enterprise

The dashboard gives the workbook's answers

Close is not good enough when a lender reads the numbers. The dashboard is reconciled to the Excel model's own formulas, month by month, before any client uses it.

Every month reconciled

The cash flow and funding waterfall are checked against the workbook for every month of the scheme.

Every return reconciled

Patient and private equity returns are matched to the workbook, not approximated.

Solvers re-run in full

The hold-period solver and the sensitivity grids are re-run as complete models and compared, point by point.

Randomised testing

Random cases change every input at once, to catch what a set of hand-picked tests would miss.

When an answer can't be given, such as a return on cash flows that never turn positive, the dashboard says so rather than showing a misleading number.

Your projects stay yours

Each client works in its own organisation on the Nuovo platform, and the rules are enforced by the database itself, not only by the screens.

Separate organisations

Only your organisation's members can see or change its projects.

Roles for each person

Viewers read, editors change and save, admins invite people, owners manage the organisation.

Versions that can't be changed

Every save becomes a version that can't be edited or deleted, so you can reopen exactly what a partner saw.

A record of every change

Admins can see who changed what, and when, across the organisation.
