Our Services

 

In rapidly evolving financial markets, it’s important to have a clear understanding of what's available and how it can work for you. Collaborate with a team that has broad experience across the full range of debt products and markets, to benefit from a wide range of services designed to help your business grow.

  • Acquisition finance

    You want to grow your privately owned business, your sustainable net profit of R5 million a year or more after tax and solid performance track record mean you’re in a strong position to take the next step. Whether you're acquiring another company, meeting BEE commitments, pursuing a management buyout or buy-in, or a leveraged buyout, we can help. We assist listed and unlisted South African and African corporates and private equity funds.

    Our transaction expertise includes:

    • leveraged buy-outs
    • management buy-outs
    • term balance sheet
    • lending
    • debt restructuring
    • black economic empowerment funding
    • share based lending

    These bespoke solutions can include the following financing alternatives:

    • limited recourse acquisition finance – limits recourse to the company/property which is acquired
    • term loans (senior and mezzanine)
    • revolving credit facilities
    • working capital facilities.

  • Capital expenditure

    If you are looking to expand your asset base and grow core operations, our team can assist you in providing flexible financing arrangements to suit your specific needs.

  • Debt capital markets

    Diversifying your sources of capital can be an effective way to protect your business from rapidly changing markets that affect the funding environment. Whether you are a South African based corporate or are in other African jurisdictions, team up with a partner that has extensive debt capital advisory experience across the full range of debt products and markets.

    We bring together originators and distributors to form one team that delivers relevant and holistic solutions to assist your business to remain resilient in both favourable and difficult market conditions. 

  • Leveraged cash flow lending

    As a corporate that has demonstrated a successful track record our Specialised Finance team can provide you with funding to support your business. In addition, we look to be the funding partner of highly motivated and skilled management teams that have consistently displayed the ability to generate sustainable cash flows. 

  • Leveraged recapitalisations

    If you have a solid track record and a low balance sheet gearing, we can assist you to make use of your debt to finance a transfer of ownership or for the distribution of cash dividends to your shareholders.

  • Preference Shares

    Corporate entities may consider preference shares as opposed to loan financing in certain situations. Preference shares are generally the preferred source of funding when equity is being acquired.
