Advisory
Why clients choose a boutique
Large banks bring balance sheets. We bring attention: the partner you meet in the first meeting is the one who runs your deal.
- No product to sell
- We don't lend, invest or distribute, so our advice is about your deal only.
- Investor access
- Pension funds, asset managers, DFIs, banks and insurers across Botswana and the region.
- Fees in writing
- Your fee letter sets out every retainer, milestone and success component before work starts.
From first meeting to financial close
First meeting
Free and confidential. We learn about the business, what you need to raise or decide, and your timeline.
Mandate and fee letter
Scope, deliverables and fees agreed in writing, including any retainer, milestones and success fee.
Preparation
Financial model, information memorandum and a shortlist of the lenders or investors most likely to say yes.
Negotiation to close
Term sheets and conditions precedent through to disbursement, then support with reporting after close.
