Financial modelling and research for companies and projects

IQA offers client companies a range of financial modelling services for analysis of natural resource assets, resource or energy plant projects, or companies as a whole. We can prepare or review bankable feasibility studies, market economics and competitor analysis, and valuations for company or investor use.

Our research services can be used for either external market engagement or internal review and assessment. Research is an important tool to assist the growth of any business by providing an independent assessment on the position of the company, either to foster investment or to identify weaknesses, which can be addressed by management.

Our services have been developed for small and medium-sized companies, which have traditionally been under-researched. This experience gives us a better understanding of the unique operational and financial challenges faced by these companies, allowing us to provide a more accurate assessment and valuation.

Research services are provided through our independent subsidiary.
