In today’s competitive environment, organisations benefit immensely by adopting a collaborative approach to business development. “Two heads are, indeed, better than one” and with the right type(s) of strategic partner(s) organisations are better equipped to provide robust solutions to current and future challenges.

Through our collaborations and inherited resources of a dedicated team, we deliver robust development solutions tailored to meet the needs of individual clients. And we recognise that while requirements may be similar in certain cases, no two organisations are ever the same.

We serve a broad array of clients and industries. Typical transactions range from US$ 10 million to US$ 250 million with capacity in excess of US$ 1 billion per transaction encompassing, in some cases, the complete capital stack required.

We are dedicated to providing competitive business solutions to both public and private entities.

Expanding into new markets requires research; support; professional advice; business support; banking services; local legal and tax positions; and community relations. We are on hand to navigate the terrain and ensure that you are country and community compliant.

Requests and proposals are carefully reviewed with feedback provided promptly. Informed decisions are then reached on how best potential clients may proceed.

We share information and practice open communication so that clients are better served and can make informed decisions on suitable ways forward.

Whilst our primary focus is on our chosen sectors, we may also assist in other sectors across the continent depending upon available resources.

Our team will also assist in managing the relationships developed from potential joint venture arrangements to ensure business continuity.

Clients are assured that potential venture partnerships are carefully reviewed. In depth due diligence enquiries are carried out prior to engagement and prospects come highly recommended.

We ask that potential venture partners provide corporate profiles and pertinent verifiable summary business history so that we may carry out preliminary due diligence enquires.

Concession owners are required to submit all geological and geophysical data in addition to valuation reports prepared by first class international geoscience data providers. Onshore mineral concessions are of particular interest and this is extended to near offshore oil concessions of no higher than water depths of 1,000 cubic metres.

Equipment supply is provided by our third party suppliers. These suppliers have had years of experience in providing global supply chain finance solutions and some have even had prior experience of operating in Africa.

Global supply chain finance solutions are available to businesses that can provide the necessary collateral in the form of either government bonds/guarantees, or local B+ rated bank documentary credits.

Again, in spite of our focus on our chosen sectors, we will also consider credible proposals from sectors outside of our remit where we have a credible supply sources.

Project, Structured and Trade Finance Services

We understand the challenges of securing funding / finance for trades and projects, especially infrastructural projects. In today’s economic environment, dealing with volatile market conditions and increasing regulatory requirements requires more time from directors, government seniors and project originators. Our experience and collaborations with multi-disciplinary financial services providers enable us to deliver robust and highly competitive financial solutions that are tailored to meet the requirements of transaction and project originators with acceptable collateral enabling effective risk management.

Project Development and Monitoring Services

We collaborate with international project developers to deliver a range of projects. Infrastructural projects may require either sovereign backing or some other form of collateral. Our development partners have a history of successfully implementing projects in many regions across the globe.

As an add-on, we provide project monitoring services to assist developers and host governments or private project originators so that any unforeseen eventualities are dealt with immediately; thus mitigating any disruption to project deadlines or, at the very least, kept to the barest minimum.

We adopt agile development strategy approaches where we organise small flexible teams to monitor projects. These small teams maintain checklists, manage themselves, watch out for and inform of disruptions in the processes, and implement changes to project processes to ensure adaptability where necessary and ultimately ensure the smooth running of projects.

We look forward to understanding your needs and working with you in order to successfully deliver your corporate project objectives.
