What are the factors that influence return on investment?
Our aim is to provide project stakeholders the capability to make effective decisions. Once the financial analysis is complete, project stakeholders will easily be able to analyze factors that influence return on investment and other performance measures.
Pivotal Analysis’ specialty is on the quantitative side of Project model analysis.
Pivotal Analysis Inc. will work with you to identify and map all technical inputs and economic variables that are likely to impact your project or business venture. Your project or business venture will be modelled using the appropriate tool (such as Microsoft Excel) to achieve an integrated technical and economic model.
This model will be dynamic and will easily show the effects of changing project technical inputs and economic variables. As new information arrives the customized model will be repeatedly evaluated and optimized.
The model will allow stakeholders to understand the feasibility of the project or business venture as it will answer both value and risk questions via scenario and sensitivity analysis.
Once feasibility is confirmed, a set of Pro Forma Financial Statements will be derived that will provide a realistic forecast of profitability and cashflow.
These statements can be used to to make effective decisions for your project or business venture such as whether or not the project or business venture should go ahead. If you are seeking funding for your business venture or project the Financial Statements will enable your company to put foward an effective proposal based on realistic inputs and assumptions.
We provide expertise for business ventures, alternative energy and unique technology projects
Pivotal Analysis will colloborate with project managers, engineers and other relevant stakeholders to gather requirements, technical inputs and other relevant information that will enable Pivotal Analysis to provide the most effective financial analysis for the project.
To effectively provide our services, Pivotal Analysis will:
- Recognize and understood the decision problem.
- Listen to you to define the objectives of the problem with you for your project.
- Collect all relevant information, including any secondary research that is relevant to the project.
- Spend as much time as necessary to ensure that the analysis is relevant and useful to decision making.
Once the model is developed, a set of feasible decisions or alternatives will be presented based on the finanical analysis. As part of the Return on Investment (ROI) analysis for each project, the following will be provided:
- Technical and Economic inputs for Models
- Microsoft Excel based Project Spreadsheet / Investment Spreadsheet Model
- Cash Flow (cash flow modeling)
- Discounted Cash Flow (DCF)
- Net Present Value (NPV)
- Payback Period
- Breakeven Point
- Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
- Ratios and Charts
- Other requested values
Once the financial analysis is complete, a set of pro forma financial statements will also be prepared.
- Pro forma Income Statement
- Pro forma Cash-Flow Statement
- Pro forma Balance Sheet
- Ratios and Charts
Our primary goal is to work colloboratively with you to ensure that our services provide your project an effective decision making tool.
Areas of Expertise
If you are in the process of starting a business venture, Pivotal Analysis can help by doing a full finanical feasibility analysis on the venture.
The essence of a business is creating value and offering it to customers for a price in order to generate profits.
Modeling this essence through financial analysis is important. Financial Analysis allows stakeholders to better understand the answer to the question, "how do we make money?", and it gives a glimplse of the future possibilities for the business. Translating the business strategy into comprehensive financial projections via cash flow modeling allows for financial feasibility analysis.
- The financial feasibility analysis of your business will allow you to:
- Easily discern costs across the business operations.
- With the revenue model, determine the possible revenue outcomes based on changes to the input and output parameters that determine revenue.
- Have the ability to easily determine the profitability of the business model and isolate the factors that affect profitability.
The financial feasibility analysis will also include comprehensive financial accounting statements such as:
- Pro forma Income Statement
- Pro forma Cash-Flow Statement
- Pro forma Balance Sheet
- Ratios and Charts
Once the financial feasiblity analysis is complete, a powerful tool is available to you to properly make effective decisions for your business venture.
Pivotal Analysis will help you determine the viability of your Waste to Energy projects by building a financial model that is based on realistic inputs and assumptions.
Alternative energies are sources of usable renewable energy such as Biomass which are intended to replace fuel sources without the undesired consequences of the burning of fossil fuels.
Biomass energy, or bio-energy, is the energy stored in non-fossil organic materials such as wood, straw, vegetable oils and wastes from the forest, agricultural and industrial sectors. Like the energy in fossil fuels, bio-energy is derived from solar energy that has been stored in plants through the process of photosynthesis. The principal difference is that fossil fuels require thousands of years to be converted into usable forms, while properly managed biomass energy can be used in an ongoing, renewable fashion.
Municipal solid waste, waste plastics, and sewage sludge can also be considered as biomass. For instance, the decomposition of organic wastes in landfill sites produces methane that can be converted into heat, electricity and possibly fuels.
Waste to Energy involves projects where some type of waste is being processed, manipulated, or changed to produce energy. Extracting light oil from oil sludge waste or heavy oil can also be categorized as a Waste to Energy project.
The challenge is to ensure that the input costs are less than the final net gain from the waste. Pivotal Analysis will help you determine the viability of your Waste to Energy projects by building a financial model that is based on realistic inputs and assumptions.
Pivotal Analysis will work with you to determine the viability of your unique technology project.
Unique technology projects involve proprietary technologies that are unusual or interesting.
An example is bioremediation technologies. Bioremediation can be defined as any process that uses microorganisms, fungi, green plants or their enzymes to return the natural environment altered by contaminants to its original condition. Bioremediation technologies are living Biomachine technologies used to treat waste water or to use plants to remediate contaminated soils better known as Phytoremediation.

These technologies have very positive impact on the environment and have a significant cost advantage.
