If you wish to be educated I suggest you fully read the RNS re the purchase of H&W, you will see it will be run as a separate entity and working capital funding will be sought.
The business comes debt free as it has been bought out of administration, so the basic maths re
Cost 6M
Loans/equity to purchase 6M
Value of asset conservatively put at 11M
Therefore this business will restart as a new entity, as I say, debt free? Apart from the loans and equity to purchase. Essentially a fresh start but the important caveat is, not only have Inca acquired the assets, they have acquired the name. They will then look to acquire new business, but the business will be underpinned by the work they will be involved with in respect of the IM project. Therefore cash flow will be incoming from that project and hopefully other projects will come on board.
Its a no bringer for Inca as the goodwill it promotes in NI is priceless and it will ultimately save Inca costs in the overall construction of the IM project.
As I point out you refer to massive liability burn, I assume you refer to the H &W business pre administration? This is a totally new business with no debt apart from loans to purchase. I have to say most large construction businesses retain bank debt to operate, its all about how that is managed and kept with certain levels so as to be able to be serviced by income streams and profits.
This could be a masterstroke of JW's imo, lets see how we go once all of the agreements are finalised.
