Financial consultancy

Financial consultancy is a key part of any new or refurbished lighting project. It ensures that investments in lighting deliver real value through cost savings, energy efficiency, and long-term performance. By analyzing return on investment (ROI), energy consumption, and maintenance costs, financial consultancy helps clients make informed decisions, avoid overspending, and choose solutions that balance performance with budget. Ultimately, it turns lighting upgrades into smart, sustainable financial choices.

Key points

Here are the key points typically covered in a financial analysis for a lighting project:

  • Initial Investment Cost
    Evaluation of upfront costs for equipment, installation, and commissioning.

  • Return on Investment (ROI)
    Estimation of how quickly the investment pays for itself through savings.

  • Payback Period
    Time required to recover the initial investment from energy and maintenance savings.

  • Energy Savings
    Comparison of energy consumption before and after the upgrade or installation.

  • Maintenance Cost Reduction
    Analysis of expected savings from reduced maintenance needs, especially with LEDs.

  • Lifecycle Cost Analysis
    Total cost of ownership over the product's life, including operation, maintenance, and disposal.

  • Utility Incentives and Rebates
    Identification of available financial incentives, tax credits, or rebates from energy providers or governments.

  • Financing Options
    Review of leasing, loans, or performance-based contracting to support project funding.

  • Cash Flow Impact
    Projection of how the project affects cash flow over time.

  • Sustainability and Environmental Impact
    Consideration of financial benefits linked to improved environmental performance (e.g., carbon credits, certifications).
