MANAGEMENT CONSULTANCY

We study and devise strategies to maximize your facility’s operational efficiency and bottom line.

Detailed Project Report & Market Intelligence

A detailed project report checks the viability and prospects of the proposed facility through market research and financial feasibility study. It is a requirement for any new healthcare facility. The process involves the collection of market intelligence data for an in-depth study of the location and neighboring regions, which helps in creating a financial model for the project. In short, DPRs can predict the future of your venture.

What does it do?
  • Evaluate the demand-supply gap
  • Identify direct and indirect competitors
  • Assess the economic viability of the proposed healthcare facility by preparing a feasibility study which includes the following:
  • Conceptualize requirements of the Project (like bed-mix, service-mix, facility-mix or level of technology)
  • Recognise hindrance, business risk and provide critical success factors
Detailed break-up of the project cost based on factors like civil infrastructure, workforce, equipment cost
Income estimate includes department-wise breakup of productivity with tariff assumptions
Expense estimates (human resources distribution with salaries, marketing, consumables and utilities like power)
Interest during construction, term loan, profit & loss, balance sheet, ratio analysis, sensitivity analysis
What are the benefits?

Top management gets a fair understanding of service-mix, bed-mix and facility-mix of the proposed healthcare facility.

The promoters gain insights into consumer behavior, insurance penetration, the level of technology, engineering services that need to be adopted.

The financial feasibility study helps promoters to assess the broad

level cost of the project, year-on-year projected income, detailed breakdown of expenses on the workforce, equipment and utilities.

Important ratios, such as IRR, ROI, EBIDTA, ARPOB, DSCR, offers a fair understanding of the project viability.

The report is beneficial to banks, funding agencies, PE partners interested in funding the proposed healthcare facility.
