Services / M&A & Transaction Support

From target identification to protected completion

For investors buying companies or shares in African markets, we support the entire transaction: sourcing, valuation coordination, negotiation, closing and post-acquisition integration.

Transaction support scope

Transactions fail when parties do not adequately address valuation, representations and warranties, conditions precedent, payment security, governance rights or exit arrangements. Our role is to make sure every one of those questions is answered before you sign.

  • Target identification
  • Preliminary valuation coordination
  • Transaction planning
  • Bid and negotiation strategy
  • Term-sheet review coordination
  • Transaction timetable management
  • Due-diligence workstream coordination
  • Risk-allocation analysis
  • Conditions-precedent monitoring
  • Closing support
  • Post-acquisition integration planning

Minority investment protection

Particular emphasis is placed on minority investments, where investors require adequate governance rights, financial reporting, board representation, reserved matters, dividend protection and clear exit mechanisms. We make sure those protections are negotiated in, not discovered missing later.

Government and institutional engagement

Where appropriate and lawful, we facilitate professional engagement with relevant ministries, regulators, investment-promotion agencies, county governments and public institutions:

  • Identifying the appropriate institution
  • Preparing investor presentations
  • Arranging formal introductions
  • Supporting investment applications
  • Coordinating responses to information requests
  • Monitoring approval processes
  • Maintaining professional stakeholder communication

Compliance first

All engagement is undertaken transparently and in compliance with applicable anti-bribery, anti-corruption and public-procurement laws. We do not guarantee government approvals, licenses, contracts or tenders.
