Corporate Finance

Short-term and long-term financing of large capital investments and business undertakings is crucial towards maximizing shareholder value. Our Corporate Finance team looks at the various financial avenues available to raise and recover funds in the most efficient and effective ways possible.

​

We provide specialist objective financial and strategic advice from beginning to end of corporate finance transactions including the identification of the best source of funds and assist clients in securing attractive terms and conditions.

Business Valuations

We produce business valuations that determine the present value of the business taking due consideration of the underlying assets, organisation and business operations. We are engaged by our clients to assist them in conducting investment analysis during merger and acquisition transactions.
 

We apply standard industry-recognized valuation methods in order to ensure that our clients will have relevant and accurate valuations in hand prior to making critical business decisions.   We protect our clients’ interests by remaining independent and working at arms’ length with all vested parties.    

Financial Due Diligence

Clients engage us to assess the financial implications of a potential acquisition in order to determine the potential benefits, assets held, liabilities and other financial obligations, risks and opportunities that may exist in undertaking the transaction.

​

​We offer detailed, focused and expedient professional due diligence reports that will enable you to take decisions based on accurate data prepared by independent professional staff.

Business Planning

Charting the way forward in the short and in the long term evolves around strategic and sound planning. We assist the client to create a blueprint for evolving the business. This process entails our involvement in identifying sources of funds and resources required for the business to be sustainable and competitive maximising returns. Our offering entails assessment of the business, target market, SWOT and PESTEL analysis and computation of the financial returns.
 

We provide clients with practical and ready-to-use business plans against which action can be immediately implemented, monitored and measured.

Feasibility Studies

Any planned action is analysed to determine the return on investment, assessing whether it provides additional value to the business by avoiding investments that deplete rather than increase value.
 

We meticulously investigate any planned activities and compute the projected rate of return of an investment giving an independent opinion on the feasibility of prospective projects.

Family Business Services and Succession Planning

As family businesses generally focus on resilience rather than performance for the sake of keeping the business for future generations, they tend not to spend more than they earn for the sake of surviving economic downturns.   
 

We understand the concerns of family business owners and we work with our clients to ensure that the family business is handed down to the next generation in a better shape and form than it was before. We assist family businesses in the planning for succession by advising on organisational structure, core processes, making critical information available, decision-making routines, and human resource development including key performance indicators and measures.

Business Transformations (Internal Processes)

Whilst having established internal business processes is generally regarded as an advantage when aligned to customer outcomes, these processes need to be frequently revisited to ensure that they actually help rather than hinder the business. Our role is to review Internal processes and to identify gaps where processes are not optimal in terms of efficiency, effectiveness and customers’ benefits.   

​

We look into internal business processes and identify bottlenecks and gaps in the process that hinder business growth and increases operational costs, thereby depleting shareholders’ return on investment. We flow chart the process, draw out weaknesses and recommend changes to improve processes.

Governance Risk and Compliance

Our services are geared to assist our clients to ensure that their organisation reliably achieves its objectives via processes established and executed by its directors, addressing uncertainties that could hinder the organization from reliably achieving those objectives. We review internal corporate governance policies and processes to assess whether the board of directors, management and personnel are acting with integrity according to laws and regulations.   
 

We support our clients by conducting a corporate governance risk and compliance review drawing out weaknesses and making recommendations for improvement.

Risk Advisory – Improvements to Internal Control Structures and Systems [internal audit]

Managing financial and non-financial risks to be able to take informed decisions on the decided course of action facilitates the business strategy, be it one for sustainability or growth.
 

Starting off by an entity wide risk assessment, we work with our clients to thoroughly examine all internal processes searching for areas of risk for the organization. We formulate a risk register whilst proposing workable solutions targeted towards the reduction of risk. Our internal audit role provides assurance to the client that the business  processes are monitored regularly and arising issues are tackled sooner than later.

Strategy

Businesses with a strong strategy upon which a solid plan is created to achieve the vision for a desired future position of the business will not only make it sustainable but drive it to grow and flourish.
 

We support clients by designing and executing a business strategy that allows their businesses to thrive whilst capitalizing on strengths and opportunities to find ways and means to deal with weaknesses and threats.

Mergers and Acquisitions

The amalgamation of two separate business entities into one either by merger or by acquisition brings along risks that may hamper the expected levels of growth and profitability in the long-term. We play a pivotal role to ensure that mergers and acquisitions are carefully steered, by offering our expertise to identify potential complications earlier on in the transaction.

 

Our experienced team of seasoned professionals who have years of experience in this field will support the client prior to the transaction, throughout discussions, the negotiation process and at the final phase by assisting in the review of the final contract/s of the transaction.

Our Deliverables

We work alongside our clients all the way from vision to value by engaging with the client in targeted discussions. We convert our years of hands-on experience and business acumen in concrete proposals of alternative options, based on best practice and tried and tested methodologies. In doing so our goal is to quickly understand the client’s business, identifying gaps and weaknesses and providing solutions based on our expertise and creative thinking.
 

We spot and build on opportunities in your business to develop growth strategies and improved performance. By devising concrete approaches and action plans,  we assist our clients in implementing tactical plans to ensure that the opportunity becomes a reality. Our advisors challenge client assumptions and test their business model to strengthen their productive offering and to remain innovative.
 

The methodology we use involves splitting engagements into quantifiable, meaningful and manageable components such as data gathering, analysis, validation, presentation of outcomes and reporting.
