Our Solutions
Integrated Advisory Support from Opportunity Assessment to Financial Close
EXPERTISE CAPITAL PARTNERS supports governments, project sponsors, businesses and investors in preparing, structuring and executing investment and financing transactions across Africa.
Our advisory solutions are designed to improve investment readiness, strengthen transaction structures, identify appropriate capital providers and support stakeholders throughout the execution process.
How We Work
Solutions Designed Around the Needs of Each Opportunity
No two transactions are identical.
The appropriate advisory approach depends on the nature of the opportunity, its development stage, the sponsor’s objectives, financing requirements, risk profile and the expectations of prospective investors or lenders.
ECP therefore adapts each mandate to the specific transaction rather than applying a standard financing solution.
Our work may involve:
🔴 strategic and financial assessment;
🔴 investment-readiness review;
🔴 financial modelling;
🔴 capital-structure analysis;
🔴 transaction structuring;
🔴 investor and lender engagement;
🔴 due diligence coordination;
🔴 negotiation support;
🔴 transaction execution.
INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCE ADVISORY

FINANCIAL STRUCTURING
Building Financing Structures Appropriate to the Opportunity

Our support may include
🔴 assessment of capital requirements;
🔴 analysis of proposed use of funds;

BLENDED FINANCE & PPP ADVISORY
Mobilising Complementary Sources of Capital
Some projects with strong economic or development impact may not be financeable through conventional commercial capital alone.
Blended finance and public-private partnership structures can, where appropriate, help improve risk allocation, affordability and the mobilisation of private investment.
ECP may assist with
🔴 assessment of the project’s public and private components;
🔴 identification of financing gaps;
🔴 analysis of concessional or catalytic financing options;
🔴 review of potential PPP structures;
🔴 risk-allocation analysis;

Important notice
All PPP and public-sector mandates remain subject to applicable procurement, legal, regulatory and public-finance requirements.
TRANSACTION EXECUTION
Coordinating the Path Toward Transaction Completion
Even well-prepared opportunities can face delays or execution challenges when documentation, advisers, investors and other stakeholders are not effectively coordinated.
ECP supports transaction execution by helping stakeholders organise the process, manage information flows and maintain momentum through key stages of the transaction.
Our support may include
🔴 defining the transaction roadmap;
🔴 organising information requirements;
🔴 coordinating advisers and counterparties;
🔴 supporting investor communications;
🔴 assisting with due diligence responses;
