Enabling smooth cross-border trade and commodity transactions with reliable financial back
A repeatable, disciplined methodology that combines strategy, risk control and hands-on execution. We help clients move from idea to scale with clarity and speed.
We believe the best outcomes come from blending deep local market insight with disciplined financial structuring. Our process is designed to reduce execution risk while preserving upside for founders, investors and partners.
We start with stakeholder interviews, financial diagnostics and market context. This phase surfaces constraints, timing, and success metrics (value, revenue, social impact).
Based on diagnostics we model strategic options, capital stacks and operational roadmaps. We prefer simple structures with explicit triggers and exit mechanics.
We match clients to lenders, partners and offtakers. Our partner network includes commercial banks, DFIs, trade financiers and strategic corporates.
Every transaction includes AML/KYC, regulatory checks, insurance design and clear collateralisation where relevant.
We support documentation, closing and post-close governance — ensuring KPIs are tracked and that our clients realise planned benefits.
Each step above has a defined set of outputs, owners and timelines. Example outputs include: stakeholder matrix, financial model, risk register, term-sheet, legal pack and a dashboard for performance tracking. We embed a project manager and use secure data rooms for transparency.
Our advisory teams combine ex-bankers, sector specialists and local market operators. We assign a lead partner and a delivery team for each mandate.
We integrate ESG into investment decisions — not as an afterthought — but as a core value-driver. ESG consideration reduces long-term risk, unlocks preferential capital, and preserves reputational value.
We apply a four-stage ESG process: (1) Screening & exclusion; (2) Assessment & baseline; (3) Mitigation & contract-linked KPIs; (4) Verification & reporting. This ensures risks are managed and impact is measurable.
Transactions that meet verifiable sustainability criteria may be eligible for preferential pricing, blended finance support, or co-financing facilities with development partners. We structure sustainability-linked covenants tied to environmental or social KPIs.
We combine a strong regional base with international partners and correspondent relationships to execute transactions across markets.
