    WHY?

    Research findings and experience confirms majority of businesses in Kenya (and Africa) fail mid-stream due to poor branding, undercapitalization, mismanagement, inability to compete, failure to embrace change etc.

      We target the following sectors; 

      • Energy
      • Agribusiness
      • Technology and Media
      • Financial Institutions and Services

       

      We Offer:

      1. Research & Development – we acknowledge the importance of data analysis and business intelligence in providing in-depth actionable insights, improvements and alternative solutions in business.

      • Brand/Product Audit: the evaluation of brand’s current state and effectiveness.
      • Market Segmentation and Positioning: creating a persona definition (archetype) for each type of the brand/product consumer, including all their demographics; age bracket, gender, education, technology adoption, socioeconomic status, environment etc. The persona concept helps the product marketing/sales team focus on the specific problem and connection with a ‘type of consumer’.

      2. Private Equity Investment – the preferred models of investment / capital injections are;

      • Growth and Expansion Capital: a flexible type of financing preferred by entrepreneurs looking for capital to expand, restructure operations, enter new markets etc without a change of control (equity) to their businesses.
      • Recapitalizations: a financial strategy applied by a company involving substantial change and readjustments in its capital structure; issuing more shares, exchange bonds for stock, swapping debts for equity and vice versa.
      • Divestitures/Spin-Offs: a way of managing your company’s portfolio by selling or disposing the subsidiary business/assets to us.
      • Buyouts / Leveraged Buyouts: we ‘buy-out’ the equity owners of the target company, by acquiring total ownership or majority shares.

      The Investment Exit period is normally 1 - 5 years, but may shorten or extend depending on the nature, condition and scalability of the business.
