How Every Engagement Works
Scope. Engage. Close.
For investors, operators, and capital raisers pursuing African market opportunities who need the network, intelligence, and local execution to get to close.
Scope
It starts with a 15-minute conversation where you walk us through your transaction, what you are trying to accomplish in Africa, and what is standing between you and the close. By the end of the call, you will know whether we are the right partner, and if we are, where we would begin.
Your African market
position, handled.
One engagement covers whatever your transaction requires, and as your situation evolves, so do the priorities. Progress every 24 to 48 hours, and a monthly strategy call with Ndudi to keep the bigger picture in focus.
Included in every engagement
Quantified 100-point assessment of your target market across six dimensions, giving you a clear picture of where the opportunity and risk sit before any capital moves.
Licensing requirements, compliance pathways, and the specific regulatory decision-makers who control the approvals your transaction needs to proceed.
Direct introductions to the government officials, regulators, industry leaders, and potential local partners your deal needs, people you would otherwise spend months trying to reach.
Entry mode analysis, partnership frameworks, and mandate documentation designed around how your transaction needs to be structured to satisfy all parties at the table.
Multi-party coordination when your deal involves government, development finance institutions, local partners, and international counterparties moving at different speeds.
Ongoing monitoring of regulatory shifts, political developments, and market changes that affect your position, surfaced early enough for you to act rather than react.
We earn
when you close.
The last mile of a cross-border African deal is where most transactions fall apart because regulatory approvals stall, counterparties go quiet, and local dynamics shift in ways no desktop research could predict. Twenty-five years of operating through exactly this is what we bring to the close.
Our fee aligns with your outcome. If the transaction does not complete, the advisory work, the relationships, and the intelligence are yours to keep. After close, the relationship compounds: the network stays warm, the intelligence keeps flowing, and your next opportunity starts from a stronger position.
Fee Structure
Aligned From Day One
The scoping call is free, your engagement is a flat monthly commitment covering all advisory work, and when the deal closes, a success fee reflects the outcome. Our incentives stay aligned with yours from the first conversation through to the final signature.
For institutional mandates exceeding $15M, engagement terms are structured directly with Ndudi. Get in touch.
