We want to work with partners that are committed to achieving the best development results

As a not-for-profit, IBG builds bridges with leading actors in innovative financing, management consulting, and others to improve the benefits of Canadian and international development programs for the poor and marginalized. We also build bridges with implementing organizations that prioritize program efficiency, thereby maximizing the impact of existing and future programs.

IBG's core work includes appraising social development programs and social enterprises. This appraisal work is a critical component in the process of developing the business case and term sheet that are used to secure investment capital. IBG is known for having one of the most rigorous and thorough approaches to appraising potential investments. IBG uses an integrated analysis that measures benefits and costs for both the financial and economic appraisal. The risk analysis and risk management planning begins by identifying the key risk variables using sensitivity and scenario analysis. In some cases, a Monte Carlo simulation is used to generate a probability distribution of development outcomes. The IBG analytics team is able to provide an assessment of the expected variability of the project/business net return, the probability of getting a negative net-present value (NPV), and how uncertainty will affect the net benefit flows to the key stakeholders.

We also work with those who are not yet positioned to use investment capital for their social enterprise or project. In many cases, this requires working with partners to collect data that can drive the organization's understanding of whether and how it is achieving critical results. We have experts with many years of experience to help build the required institutional capacity in order to become investment-ready.
