Financing proposals that reached funding
Two recent mandates illustrate the discipline behind our advisory work. For an industrial-sector business incubator, we developed a financing proposal that was completed and funded for a value of ZAR 12,000,000. For a non-profit organisation running a mental health programme, we developed a financing proposal that was completed and funded for a value of ZAR 4,000,000. In both cases, our role was to translate a genuine need into a proposal that met the requirements of the funding party, from needs assessment through to final sign-off.
Our method
Every advisory mandate follows the same sequence: a clear assessment of the need, a structured proposal aligned with the funder or investor's requirements, and hands-on support through to financial close. This is the same process that produced the two funded programmes above, and it applies equally to real estate, franchise and cross-border investment mandates.
