M&A Advisory

We assist with buy-side and sell-side transactions, including due diligence, valuation, deal structuring, and negotiation. We also advise on mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and joint ventures. Our forte is working in challenging African markets, or with challenging assets, either because of location, the development stage or the sector. This sets us apart from other M& A advisors. We also are experienced in preparing businesses for sale, including financial modelling and pitch book creation.

Capital Raising

We specialise in conducting investment readiness assessments, and advising on raising debt or equity capital. This includes private placements, initial public offerings, and follow-on offerings. We have extensive experience in structuring financing transactions, such as debt or equity or blended finance, and in connecting our clients with investors, banks and/or private equity firms.

Restructure/Turnaround

One of our core services is providing guidance to all our clients on debt restructuring or refinancing. Developing turnaround strategies for distressed businesses to improve financial health. Negotiating with creditors and stakeholders to optimise capital structure.

Valuation Services

Conducting business valuations for transactions, tax purposes, or litigation support. Providing fairness opinions for M&A deals or shareholder disputes. Assessing intangible assets, such as intellectual property or goodwill.

Financial Advisory

Offering strategic planning, including business plan development and market entry strategies. Advising on corporate governance, risk management, and capital allocation. Conducting feasibility studies or financial modelling for new projects or expansions.

PE and VC Support

Assisting with fundraising growth-stage companies. Structuring private equity investments or exits. Providing portfolio company management support.

We advise investors on the acquisition of interests in funds and funds of funds that have reached the end of fund life but have interests which are not yet ready for exit. These secondary transactions provide liquidity solutions for the fund managers and their Limited Partners (LP) while enabling continued value creation from underlying assets. Our services cover transaction structuring, valuation support, due diligence coordination, negotiation, and execution. We also advise on the financing of secondary transactions, assisting clients in structuring and securing appropriate funding solutions to optimise transaction economics and returns.
