Corporate finance advisory: debt raising and structuring

Our corporate finance advisory work raises and structures debt finance for institutions, acting for the borrower. We have helped several institutions raise debt finance from South African banks and other lenders, including an advisory deal of R1.3 billion in 2019. Between 2022 and 2024, we helped raise R205m of equity and R150m of debt for other businesses.

We help clients structure the finance, including the facility size, tenor, repayment profile, security and covenants, so that it fits their cash flows and balance sheet.

We work on a project basis, and fees are agreed in writing at the start of each project. Effectus does not underwrite, guarantee or provide any of the finance, and every lending decision rests with the lender. This service is for institutions and companies only. It is not financial advice to individuals, and it is separate from the portfolios we manage for clients. We manage any conflict with our investment mandates under our conflict of interest policy.

Effectus is an FSCA-authorised Category II discretionary FSP (FSP 50016). This page is factual information, not advice. Product documents are available on request from our team .
