Corporate Finance Capabilities

Capital structure as a
strategic decision.

Our objective is not simply to obtain financing. It is to build financial structures that are sustainable, flexible and aligned with the long-term strategy of the business.

01

Recapitalisation & Restructuring

Solutions for companies facing financial pressure, significant maturities, inefficient debt structures or extraordinary capital needs.

02

Capital Structure Optimisation

Analysis of the appropriate mix of debt, equity and alternative capital to improve flexibility, cost of capital and capacity for growth.

03

Strategic Corporate Finance

Integration of financial decisions with corporate strategy, shareholder objectives, future capital requirements and extraordinary corporate decisions.

Financial Diagnostic

Understand the balance sheet
before changing it.

We begin with the company's actual financial position — capital structure, debt, liquidity, cash generation, covenants, risk and strategic objectives — before evaluating alternatives.

Financial structures built
around the enterprise.

02

Complex debt structures, refinancing requirements and new investment plans.

03

Funds & Financial Shareholders

Recapitalisation, refinancing and portfolio-company strengthening.

Mandate Readiness

The starting point determines
the work required.

Every Corporate Finance mandate begins with an assessment of the company's financial readiness. A company with reliable cash-flow information, debt schedules, covenant data and forward projections requires a different scope from one that first needs those elements to be reconstructed, validated or developed.

R1 · Execution-Ready

Ready to evaluate and negotiate alternatives.

Financial information, debt structure, liquidity position and projections are sufficiently robust to move directly into capital-structure analysis, structuring and counterparty discussions.

Analyse → Structure → Negotiate → Implement
R2 · Preparation Required

The financial case needs development.

The engagement may first require cash-flow forecasting, debt reconciliation, covenant analysis, projections, scenario modelling, capital-needs assessment or financing-readiness materials.

Validate → Forecast → Model → Structure → Execute
R3 · Diagnostic Required

The financial starting position is not yet sufficiently defined.

Where available information does not support a reliable view of liquidity, debt capacity, restructuring options or capital requirements, a diagnostic phase may precede the execution mandate.

Diagnose → Reconstruct → Develop Scenarios → Define Mandate
Engagement Economics

Scope, readiness, complexity and execution requirements determine the economics of the mandate. Preparation, modelling and restructuring work are substantive advisory activities and may form part of a dedicated readiness phase before negotiation or implementation begins.

Corporate Finance

When the financial structure can change the future of the company, structure matters.

We help companies and shareholders evaluate alternatives, negotiate with capital providers and implement financial structures aligned with long-term strategy.
