Deals that survive your own diligence.
What you are short of is not capital.
Your mandate already includes nature-based solutions. The constraint is further down the chain: projects with genuine ecological merit arrive without the work that would let a credit or investment committee form a view on them.
The revenue is described but not evidenced. The counterparty behind that revenue is unexamined. Land rights are asserted rather than secured over the financing horizon. The outcomes are claimed but not credibly measured. The financing approach has not been tested against the project’s actual scale.
None of that is a failure of the project. It is simply work that nobody in the chain was positioned to do, which is the position NVP occupies.
What happens before anything reaches you.
Nothing will reach you from NVP that has not first been assessed against the questions your own process would raise. These are the seven categories, in the order we examine them.
- 01
Revenue and payment structure
who pays, on what basis, and how reliably, because this is the mechanism that ultimately services capital.
- 02
Counterparty standing
the credit quality of the parties obligated to pay, and the enforceability of their obligations, because a revenue stream is only as strong as the party standing behind it.
- 03
Land and legal foundation
the security of rights over the relevant financing horizon, because a financing structure cannot outlast the legal ground it stands on.
- 04
Ecological and operational integrity
the credibility of how outcomes are measured and the capacity that delivers them, because the environmental result, and the revenue tied to it, hold up only if the measurement does.
- 05
Structural and regulatory readiness
the realism of the proposed financing approach against project scale and regulatory context, because this determines whether a project can absorb institutional capital on an institutional timeline.
- 06
Community alignment and governance
the benefit-sharing and governance arrangements between the project and the communities affected by it, because unresolved community risk travels with a deal long after financial close.
- 07
Scale and asset definition
whether the project is clearly bounded in geography and intervention, and sized to reach institutional financing thresholds, because an undefined or sub-scale asset cannot be underwritten on institutional terms.
What you can hold us to.
The method is published, not just described. The stages and criteria we work to are all here, in the same words we use, and the full assessment framework behind them is available to counterparties in diligence. If an assessment does not follow it, you can see that for yourself.
Monitoring draws on independent data sources. After close, NVP reports performance against defined indicators to you and to the sponsor alike.
We will not bring you a project we have not assessed. If a project has not cleared assessment, it will not reach you.
We do not claim a track record we do not have. NVP is at the origination stage. An opinion is only as good as the people who sign it. What we offer today is the rigour of the method and credentials of the people applying it, which is the basis for a first conversation.
