Sectors
Concentrated where performance carries wider consequence.
We accept mandates across the economy, but maintain specialist depth in three sectors aligned to the Sustainable Development Goals; here, a company that recovers and grows produces effects beyond its own accounts, and development and impact capital is actively seeking well-prepared businesses.
Food security · SDG 2: Agribusiness & food value chains
Primary producers, processors, aggregators, input suppliers and distribution businesses. Our work addresses the seasonal cash flow and working capital gaps that undermine otherwise sound operations, post-harvest loss, pricing and offtake structures, aggregation economics, smallholder integration, and the blended and development finance on which the sector depends.
Energy transition · SDG 7: Energy & industrial decarbonisation
Renewable generation, storage, energy services, and industrial businesses restructuring around constrained and increasingly costly power. We model project economics and tariff structures, arrange the capital stack, and manage delivery, including the captive generation decisions now reshaping industrial cost bases across Southern Africa.
Education · SDG 4: Education & skills
Independent school networks, tertiary and vocational providers, and training businesses. Enrolment and yield modelling, fee architecture that preserves access, campus-level profitability, teacher capacity and retention, and expansion into new sites and markets. Our most substantial track record is in this sector.
The case for sector depth
Sector knowledge should not be acquired at the client's expense. In these three sectors we understand the cost structures, the seasonality, the regulatory environment, the funding landscape, and recurring failure patterns; this is why our diagnostics are measured in weeks rather than months, and why our forecasts hold up under scrutiny.
Depth also matters to funding. Capital directed toward food security, clean energy and education is among the most available on the continent, and it carries preparation and reporting requirements most companies have not met. We prepare businesses to satisfy them, and we know the institutions concerned.
