In a highly competitive PPP project ecosystem, successful bidders know that having a credible advisory partner is a wise investment.
Aranca has acted as a financial advisor in several large projects in the MENA region across power, infrastructure, general construction, industrials, oil & gas, logistics, and water.
As a boutique advisory group, high-quality service is critical to our reputation as we win almost of our new business through client referrals. We commit senior resources to each assignment and treat it as if it was our business choice backed with our own actions and money.
Aranca works closely with clients from the early RFP stage to bid submission and financial close. Our expertise in building dynamic financial models empowers you to get a bird’s eye view on all elements of risk-return in the project and submit the most competitive bids with confidence.
We also support the client’s internal treasury and finance teams in negotiating the financing documents with the lenders to secure the most compelling terms. We are communication-intensive, flexible, and great at working with other technical and legal advisors.
If you are looking for an advisor that brings big-firm capabilities for complex projects but is affordable enough to be engaged for small to mid-size bids, Aranca is your ideal partner.

Aranca offers financial advisory services to bidders for large scale infrastructure projects covering a wide array of needs from bid management and strategy, pre-bid feasibility analysis, financial modeling, financial structuring, and negotiation support to raise debt financing from lenders and equity from consortium partners.
Bid Management & Strategy
We work closely with clients, their technical and legal advisors, to gain a thorough understanding of the bidding framework and unearth potential issues that can have short-term and long-term financial implications.
Financial Modeling
Building comprehensive financial models that act as a dynamic tool to support decision making and optimize bid strategy is our forte. Our models empower bidders to run multiple ‘what-if’ scenarios and sensitivity analysis. We follow the global best practices to ensure models are easily auditable and compliant with specific RFP requirements.
Financial Structuring
We help clients understand guidelines and benchmarks for debt-levels for the project, evaluate multiple options, and identify specific constraints to achieve the optimal capital structure. Our financial models act as a dynamic tool in their hands to simulate rapidly-changing scenarios and deal terms.
Capital Raising & Negotiation Support
Aranca helps clients to negotiate the best terms with financers and investors by developing a compelling thesis of the opportunity and risk in the project. Clients often lean on us to make proposal presentations
Model Audit
Poorly structured and error-prone models can lead to incorrect decision making and dire consequences. We do comprehensive model reviews and audits of financial models to ensure the user’s trust is safeguarded.
