Services
Three pillars: capital strategy, investor-ready preparation, and process support for South African businesses pursuing capital raises of R1 million to R50 million.
What We Do
Each engagement is shaped around one integrated objective: a raise that is clearer, more credible, and more defensible under scrutiny.
Define the right instrument, investor universe, and valuation framing before time is lost in the wrong conversations.
Build what diligence will actually touch first: the model, the memo, the deck, and the evidence beneath them.
Stay close to the live process so management remains organised, credible, and better prepared as questions become more demanding.
Diagnostic Product
Not every founder needs a full capital-preparation engagement on day one. RaiseReady helps assess whether the business is ready for investor conversations, what needs tightening, and whether a smaller advisory pack is the right next step.
Founders answer a structured diagnostic across the same evidence areas that investors tend to test in early screening and diligence.
When the score shows enough signal, founders can unlock a practical pack designed to move from diagnostic to investor preparation.
The strongest diagnostic outcomes become a cleaner route into scoped projects, retainers, or capital-preparation mandates.
Process
A clean process matters because capital raises are often weakened by ambiguity long before any commercial discussion becomes serious.
Understand the business, the numbers, the capital need, and the likely investor objections before a live process begins.
Build the model, materials, supporting narrative, and diligence readiness required to stand up under scrutiny.
Support meetings, information requests, and commercial negotiations through to a result the business can execute.
Fit
We add the most value when there is already a real business and the next raise needs to hold up to real diligence.
Concept-stage businesses with no operating proof, mandates seeking introductions only, and work requiring regulated financial services we do not provide. We would rather say no early than take a mandate that should not exist.
Pricing
Standard project sprints, ongoing strategic finance retainers, and custom capital-preparation mandates each have published starting points and commercial rules. Final fees always depend on scope, complexity, and timelines after a short scoping conversation.
Most active processes run roughly 3 to 9 months once materials are ready. Preparation can be faster when records are already clean and longer when development finance institutions or blended structures are involved.
