Consultancy
Alongside training, Novel prepares feasibility studies, investment appraisals and financial plans for real clients.
Dr Mohamed Eisa's consultancy practice covers investment appraisal, feasibility studies, financial planning, performance measurement, review of operational procedures and capital reconstruction, together with internal control across every level of management — cash flow, expenditure control, production control and people control.
What we do
Feasibility studies
Full technical and economic studies: market assessment, capital structure, five-year projections and risk analysis, in the format lenders and regulators expect.
Investment appraisal
Independent appraisal of projects and expansions — cash flow estimation, discounting, sensitivity and the recommendation that follows from them.
Financial planning and control
Budgeting and standard costing, working capital and capital expenditure planning, and performance measurement against the plan.
Operational review and capital reconstruction
Review of operational procedures, internal control design across management levels, and restructuring of a business's capital base.

- Sector:
- Industrial manufacturing (steel bars, tubes, screws & nails)
- Scope:
- Feasibility study for a new steel shaping and production factory
Konoz Complex is a steel bars, tubes, screws and nails factory established in 2019 on a 64,000 square-metre site in the Safola industrial area of Khartoum. Novel Consultancy & Training assessed the capital required to build and operate the complex's three production plants and modelled five years of revenue, profit and cash flow. The study found the project generates a positive NPV, a high internal rate of return, and pays back its investment in roughly two years.

Al Nahda College, established in 2014 in Khartoum, offers Medicine, Engineering, Humanitarian and Information Technology programs and is working toward full university recognition. Novel Consultancy & Training assessed phase one of the College's 2023-2027 strategic plan, covering the capital needed for new buildings, equipment and staff, and forecasting five years of revenue, profit, cash flow and breakeven enrollment.

- Medical education, business administration and technology
- Scope:
- Feasibility study for establishing a higher education institution for medical sciences, business administration and artificial intelligence in Sudan
The feasibility study proposes establishing a higher education institution for medical sciences, business administration and artificial intelligence in Sudan, to address the critical gap between supply and demand in Sudan, the region and the Gulf states for highly qualified professionals in the medical, business administration and technology fields. The study estimates the project's total cost at US$12,095,913, and the financial indicators show that the project is largely viable but will only begin generating profits after the sixth year.

- Education and training
- Scope:
- Feasibility study for resuming and expanding Novel's professional training and consultancy operations
Novel Consultancy & Training Co. Ltd. was established in 2014 with the vision of becoming a strategic Centre of Excellence in education, research, and training. Since 2015 the centre has trained and provided internationally accredited professional certificates in accounting and finance to over 500 participants from government and private commercial bodies, as an approved centre for ICBC, CIMC and Edexcel BTEC (Pearson). This study sets out the capital, revenue and profitability case for resuming normal operations: a total capital requirement of US$141,302 is projected to generate US$131,500 in first-year revenue and US$86,121 in net profit, growing 15% annually over a five-year plan, with a positive NPV of US$202,532, an IRR of 47%, and a payback period of two years and seven months.

- Financial management
- Scope:
- Full revision of the financial system, management reporting and accounting department structure
A complete revision of an existing financial system was carried out for a construction and contracting company, establishing a full financial accounting reporting system and a four-month management accounting and budgeting cycle. The accounting department's roles were defined and documented, from reporting and administration through to internal control, senior accounting, system accounting, and client/banking liaison. The engagement also surfaced a liquidity problem driven by weak invoice collection and fast, under-budgeted expansion, together with an understaffed and inexperienced accounting team, and set out recommendations to address both.

- Government
- Scope:
- Framework proposal for electronic records management underpinning e-government
Following a meeting on May 28, 2005, this proposal set out how electronic records management (ERM) underpins the delivery of e-government, since electronic service delivery generates transactional and document-based records that must be retained as authentic, legally admissible evidence. It highlighted the risks of leaving electronic records ungoverned - lost documents, deleted e-mails, uncontrolled web versions - and the benefits lost when organizations keep relying on printing records to paper. The proposal offered to help government organizations build guidelines, a framework and milestones for full electronic records management, aligned to cross-government metadata and interoperability standards, so as to meet the modernizing government target of storing and retrieving all newly created public records electronically.
