Independent, bank-grade feasibility and valuation studies for projects in Guatemala — prepared to international lender and development-finance standards by a U.S.-based firm with 28 years of practice and 4,000+ engagements completed.
Wert-Berater, Inc. is a United States–headquartered firm of independent feasibility study consultants. We prepare feasibility studies, market studies, business plans, and independent valuations for projects located in Guatemala, delivered remotely to sponsors, lenders, and investors worldwide. We do not maintain an office in Guatemala; every engagement is conducted directly from our U.S. practice, in English, on a fixed fee that is quoted within one business day and is never contingent on the study’s conclusion. Our role abroad is the same as it is at home: an independent, third-party assessment whose duty of care runs to the lender or investor relying on it.
Credible feasibility is built on verifiable data. For Guatemala engagements we draw on the national statistics office, the national central bank, and the multilateral sources that cover the market — ECLAC (the UN Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean), and the World Bank, IMF and OECD — together with recognized industry and sector benchmarks. Every figure in the report is cited to its source, so a reviewer can pull the same series and reproduce the finding. Financials are presented in the Guatemalan quetzal (GTQ), with U.S. dollar equivalence wherever a lender requires it.
Studies for projects in Guatemala are prepared to the standards international lenders and development-finance institutions actually apply — including the IFC Performance Standards and the Equator Principles for environmental and social risk, and the appraisal and coverage expectations of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI), and the World Bank Group and IFC. Where conventional or export-credit financing is contemplated, the analysis is structured to the debt-service-coverage and sensitivity tests those lenders require.
Guatemala’s development pipeline spans many of the asset classes our practice covers. Representative sectors include:
The full practice — 120+ industries and project types across ten groups — is available for Guatemala projects, each with its own accepted demand methodology and benchmark set.
