Preparing your project: financial analyses

In the absence of a complete preliminary project, a preliminary financial analysis is an essential element in deciding on the scope of the project, or even its launch. This is all the more important in today's uncertain and highly competitive environment.

This fact sheet presents seven key indicators:

• net present value (NPV) ;

• internal rate of return (IRR) ;

• return on investment (ROI);

• break-even point ;

• cost-benefit ratio ;

• business model (business plan and business case) ;

• project portfolio management, if required.
