What is ProVal?

In the social housing sector, developers face numerous challenges, including tight budgets, regulatory compliance, and the need for precise financial forecasting. These factors can lead to significant risks, such as financial shortfalls, project delays, and non-compliance with viability guidelines. ProVal addresses these issues by providing a robust solution that enhances decision-making and risk management.

ProVal is specifically designed to tackle the complexities of financial viability in social housing. By offering tools to calculate and forecast critical financial metrics like Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR), ProVal enables developers to assess the long-term financial health of their projects. This foresight helps in identifying potential financial risks early, allowing for strategic adjustments that can prevent costly setbacks.

By consolidating data on a single, user-friendly platform, ProVal enhances visibility and control over financial information. This centralized approach not only simplifies data management but also supports more accurate and timely decision-making, ultimately reducing the risk of financial missteps and ensuring the success of social housing projects.
