Our Approach

Delivering advisory expertiseacross Africa and Europe

We act as trusted adviser on the transactions that shape our clients' futures — sales and acquisitions, capital raises, restructurings and corridor-defining strategic moves. Backed by paired FCA and SEC Nigeria permissions, we structure and execute complex cross-border mandates on a fully regulated basis, with the independence of a firm that holds no underwriting book so our advice serves the client's interest alone.

M&A Advisory

Six lanes of advisory expertise

Sell-side advisory

Managing competitive sale processes, preparing information memoranda, structuring auctions, facilitating due diligence and managing buyer engagement.

Buy-side advisory

Identifying, evaluating and negotiating acquisitions for corporate and sponsor clients building cross-border platforms.

Strategic advisory

Board-level strategic reviews, capital structure optimisation, and independent fairness opinions.

Restructuring

Operational and financial restructuring, debt advisory, and stakeholder negotiations across distressed and stressed corporate situations.

Management buy-outs

MBO and MBI advisory, working alongside management teams and financial sponsors to structure transactions and secure financing.

Cross-border M&A

Specialist advisory on Nigeria-UK and corridor-aligned transactions, including currency, regulatory, tax and operational interface considerations.

Capital Raising

Adviser and arranger across the capital stack

Equity capital raising

Pre-IPO readiness, financial preparation, governance structuring and adviser-side liaison with bookrunner banks. We act as adviser and arranger; firm-commitment underwriting is delivered by partner banks.

Private placements

Private equity-style raises into our institutional and family office investor base, including bilateral and club structures.

Debt capital raising

Bond arrangement advisory (sovereign, corporate and sustainable bonds), private debt placement, and structured debt. Capability to advise on diaspora bond programmes for the corridor.

Loan arrangement

Bilateral and syndicated loan arrangement, working with leading UK, Nigerian and international banks.

Strategic & Impact Advisory

Capital with measurable outcomes

Impact financing

Capital deployment into Nigerian sectors where measurable social and environmental outcomes align with strong risk-adjusted returns — healthcare, sustainable agriculture, renewable energy, financial inclusion and education infrastructure.

Development finance

Working alongside DFIs and concessional lenders on blended finance structures and co-investment vehicles.
