Ensuring Project Viability UAE JOURNAL: IMCI+ Capital: Can you explain the due diligence process at IMCI+ Capital, especially in facilitating financing for large-scale projects ranging from 20 million to 50 billion USD/Euros?

Modesto N Peña Y Gorrin replied, “At IMCI+ Capital, our due diligence process is rooted in ensuring both the feasibility and bankability of the projects we support. Given the scale of financing we facilitate—ranging from 20 million to 50 billion USD/Euros—we conduct a thorough analysis not only of the project itself but also of the project owner and senior management team. This holistic approach allows us to assess both the operational viability and the leadership capability behind the initiative.

Our process begins with an initial assessment to determine whether the project is feasible—from technical, financial, and operational perspectives—and whether it meets the necessary standards of bankability to attract the right investors and financing institutions. We look at critical elements such as market demand, industry trends, and the project’s alignment with key business parameters, including People, Performance, Product, Profit, and Growth.

Once a project clears the initial screening, we move into a more detailed due diligence phase. At this stage, we require a comprehensive set of documentation, including but not limited to:

Business Plan: A detailed breakdown of the business model, revenue streams, operational strategy, and growth potential.

Feasibility Study: This is crucial for confirming the technical and market viability of the project. It includes market analysis, competitive positioning, and an assessment of the project’s potential for success.

Marketing Study: We analyze the target markets, customer segments, and market-entry strategies to ensure that there is a strong demand for the product or service.

Risk Management Framework: A comprehensive risk analysis that outlines potential challenges, mitigation strategies, and contingency plans.

ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance): We emphasize the importance of sustainable practices, requiring a clear ESG strategy to ensure that the project aligns with modern standards of responsible business operations.

Collaterals, Guarantees, and Assets: We assess the financial security behind the project. Adequate collateral and guarantees, such as real estate, equipment, or other assets, are key factors in determining whether the project is financially secure and bankable.

A significant part of our process is evaluating not just the project but also the project owners and the senior management team. We believe that the success of a large-scale project is highly dependent on the leadership driving it. Therefore, we carefully analyze the background, experience, and expertise of the executives involved. A strong management team with a proven track record of success is a critical factor in our decision-making process.

In addition to the documentation review, we engage external experts such as financial institutions, legal advisors, and industry-specific consultants to conduct a deep dive into the project. This phase includes:

Financial and Operational Analysis: Assessing the company’s capital structure, cash flow projections, and operational capacity.

Compliance and Legal Review: Ensuring that the project complies with relevant regulatory requirements and legal standards.

Insurance and Risk Management: We also focus on securing adequate insurance and financial instruments to protect both investors and clients against potential risks.

Only once all these factors are thoroughly vetted and aligned do we move forward with structuring the financing. Our collaboration with development banks, institutional investors, and other financial entities allows us to provide tailored financing solutions that meet the unique needs of each project.

Throughout this entire process, our goal is to ensure that the project is not only financially sound but also sustainable and capable of delivering long-term value. Even after the financing is secured, IMCI+ Capital remains involved, offering ongoing advisory support to drive the project toward success. This comprehensive approach aligns with our Vision 2025, where we aim to create impactful, sustainable growth for both our clients and investors on a global scale.”

Transforming Services

vThe Worlds Times: Vision 2025: IMCI+ aims to implement an integrative AI strategy by 2025. How do you foresee AI transforming your services and enhancing client outcomes?

Modesto N Peña Y Gorrin replied, “At IMCI+, we believe that artificial intelligence (AI) is not just a technological tool, but a transformative force that will fundamentally enhance the way we deliver our services. Our Vision 2025 focuses on integrating AI into the core of our advisory and consulting processes, enabling us to provide faster, more accurate, and more tailored solutions for our clients. This will revolutionize how we approach business strategy, financial modeling, and operational efficiency.

One of the key ways AI will transform our services is through business intelligence and data-driven decision-making.

By leveraging advanced analytics, machine learning, and predictive modeling, we will be able to offer our clients deep insights into market trends, customer behavior, and financial performance. This enables us to create more customized and proactive strategies, helping clients stay ahead in rapidly changing industries. Additionally, AI will improve the efficiency and productivity of our internal processes. By automating routine tasks such as data collection, reporting, and compliance checks, we can significantly reduce operational bottlenecks, allowing our teams to focus on high-value activities like strategic advising and client engagement. This will lead to faster project delivery times and more cost-effective solutions for our AI will also enhance our ability to model financial strategies and assess risks. Through AI-powered risk analysis tools, we can better evaluate potential investment opportunities, assess market conditions, and simulate different financial scenarios. This will enable us to offer more precise and reliable financial guidance to our clients, minimizing risks while maximizing potential returns. Moreover, AI will play a pivotal role in our client advisory services, particularly in designing personalized growth and transformation strategies. With AI-driven tools, we can analyze a client’s historical data, industry benchmarks, and growth objectives to develop highly tailored solutions that meet their specific needs. This level of customization will not only improve client outcomes but also strengthen our long-term relationships with them. In the context of our broader IMCI+ model—People, Process, Product, Profit, and Growth—AI will allow us to optimize every aspect:
