Who we serve
Enterprises and Family-Owned Businesses
African and international businesses building, expanding or transforming across the continent.
Your operating context
Enterprise growth in African markets is rarely limited by ambition. It is limited by whether the business can raise capital on terms it can live with, hold its contracts together through change, and demonstrate the governance that investors, lenders and regulators now expect as a precondition rather than a bonus. For family-owned businesses, a further question sits underneath all of it: whether the enterprise can outlive its founder.
We structure capital that can move, build contracts that protect delivery, and turn technology and intellectual property into protectable, investable value.
The problems that bring you to us
- “We are raising capital and the investor's diligence has surfaced problems we did not know we had.”
- “The founder has no succession structure and the next generation is not aligned.”
- “Our brand, software or know-how is commercially central and legally undocumented.”
- “A distributorship, joint venture or shareholder relationship has broken down.”
- “We are entering a new African market and do not know what will be enforceable there.”
