01
Our role in an asset opportunity
Evidence before commitmentEngagements can begin with an acquisition decision, an operating improvement priority or an asset monetisation opportunity.
Asset Value Assessment
Bring condition, integrity, reliability and remaining life together with operating performance. Connect the findings to investment needs, cash-flow assumptions and downside scenarios.
Value creation and delivery planning
Prioritise improvements in availability, energy use, maintenance and asset life. Set a baseline, assign owners and define how operating gains will translate into economic value.
Transaction and governance options
Develop ownership, funding and governance options with prospective capital partners and specialist advisers. Define responsibilities, decision rights and performance reporting.
Operating and brownfield assetsThe value of an operating asset depends on its condition. We make sure the investment case knows it.

Proposed model · In development
Investment participation alongside capital partners
AVC Capital is developing an operating-sponsor model for individual transactions. It envisages a dedicated project company or joint venture for each asset, agreed governance and a funded transformation plan.
The proposed model allows for selective AVC co-investment alongside capital partners. Any participation would depend on the transaction, an agreed mandate, funding and the required approvals.
Financing and investment commitments are agreed separately for each opportunity, with the appropriate specialist advice.
