Why FinConnect Africa

Capital is raised on preparation, not optimism.

Capital providers approve transactions that are structured, evidenced and ready for scrutiny. Our team has collectively advised on transactions exceeding $300 million and has sat inside credit and investment committees. We know how decisions are made, what diligence will test and where transactions fail. We prepare yours to withstand that examination.

Transaction experience

We have advised on debt, equity and structured transactions across the resource and energy value chain, from project finance to growth and operational funding.

Capital provider insight

We maintain relationships across commercial banks, development finance institutions, private credit funds and equity investors who fund our sectors.

Approval discipline

We anticipate the questions of credit and investment committees and resolve them inside the financing package before a transaction reaches the table.

Our value

We prepare comprehensive lender and investor ready financing packages and manage the capital raising process through to successful close.

Our capital solutions are designed to support growth and unlock long term business value. Drawing on extensive experience within credit and investment committees, our team understands what is required to position transactions for approval and execution.

Sector expertise

Three sectors. One standard of preparation.

Each sector raises capital against a different risk profile, asset base and provider universe. We advise where the capital requirements are most demanding.

Mining operation — open pit resource extraction and processing facility
01 / Mining

Project, expansion and development capital for resource operations.

Mining transactions demand evidence of reserves, offtake, cost discipline and environmental governance. We assemble the technical, financial and legal package that capital providers require before they commit.

Project and development finance
Structuring senior and mezzanine debt against reserves, offtake and production profiles.
Expansion and capital programmes
Funding plant, fleet and infrastructure investment without overextending the balance sheet.
Energy infrastructure — utility scale power generation facility
02 / Energy

Project finance and growth capital for generation and infrastructure.

Energy transactions turn on bankable offtake, construction risk and long term cash flow. We prepare independent power and infrastructure projects for the institutions and funds that finance them.

Independent power and generation
Positioning utility scale and embedded generation projects for bankable financing.
Transmission and distribution
Raising capital for grid, storage and distribution infrastructure with long horizons.
Oil and gas infrastructure — fuel storage and distribution terminal
03 / Oil and Gas

Capital for upstream, midstream and distribution operations.

Oil and Gas businesses carry commodity exposure, infrastructure intensity and regulatory complexity. We structure financing that reflects the asset, the cash flow and the counterparties involved.

Infrastructure and midstream
Funding storage, terminals and distribution assets through structured debt and equity.
Operational and working capital
Arranging facilities that match the trading cycle and inventory profile of the business.
What we do

Advisory across the capital raising lifecycle.

Six disciplines that move a business from funding readiness through to a closed transaction.

Our process

From preparation to successful execution.

Every mandate follows the same disciplined sequence. The work is done before the transaction reaches a capital provider.

01

Assessment and readiness

We review your objectives, financials and capital position, then identify what must be in place before the business approaches the market.
