From Concept to Bankable Project: A Five-Step Framework

May 18, 2025 Project Advisory

At Ohakk Consult, we have developed a five-step framework for taking projects from early concept through to bankable, investment-ready status. This framework has been refined through our work across multiple sectors and countries in West Africa.

Step 1: Concept Validation

Rigorously test the core concept — is there a real market need? Is the solution technically feasible? Are there insurmountable regulatory barriers?

Step 2: Feasibility Analysis

A full feasibility study covering technical, financial, environmental and social dimensions — the foundational document for all subsequent development work.

Steps 3–5: Structuring, Packaging and Engagement

Technical and financial structuring, preparation of investor-facing materials, and active engagement of potential capital partners. Each step builds on the last.
