Development of the Project Plan of Finance

Pro Sports Consulting has great experience in designing projects, creating their cost and a plan of finance for that project, soliciting financial support for the project and assisting ownership in obtaining the requisite public approvals for the project along with its plan of finance.

Pro Sports Consulting assists in the development of computer models of the plan of finance including simulated sources and uses of funds, operating budgets, debt structuring, cash flow analyses, coverage ratio analyses, and other related uses of funds. These models can then be used for numerous activities including: internal decision-making, solicitation of equity, solicitation of financings, debt placements, negotiations with vendors or suppliers and public presentations.

Determination and Management of the Development and Operating Budgets

Pro Sports Consulting works with architects, contractors and their estimators to determine realistic costs for your project. We are then able to consult with the finance team to create development and operating budgets which can be used to support plans of finance and ongoing operational budgeting.

Pro Sports Consulting has extensive operational experience in all aspects of development and operations revenue and expense forecasting for numerous college and professional sports and entertainment facilities. We will examine and include projections for revenues from various streams like events, attendance, premium seating, sponsorship, ticket sales, naming rights, rentals, food service, merchandise sales and parking. We will also project expected costs like staffing, utilities, overhead, debt service, repairs and maintenance and capital expenditures.
