Independence serving your interests
Velinga Capital is an independent player. Every piece of advice we give, every investor we approach, and every transaction we structure serves your interests exclusively.
African expertise, international standards
Velinga Capital combines an intimate knowledge of African markets - their opportunities, practices, and specific characteristics - with working methods and quality standards recognised internationally.
Our expertise in financial advisory and investment in Africa
Our added value rests on an in-depth knowledge of African markets, a strong network of local and international investors, and a rigorous approach tailored to the realities of the continent.
Fundraising - Financing your growth in Africa
Velinga Capital supports its clients in finding and structuring financing solutions tailored to their ambitions. Before making any recommendation, our firm carefully analyses every factor that determines the success of a financing operation: the composition and relevance of a shareholder round, the terms of a loan (maturity, rate, and guarantees), or the potential of a hybrid solution combining equity and debt. This analytical rigour, applied ahead of every decision, allows us to build with you the financing strategy best suited to your situation and most credible to the investors we approach.
We provide:
- An in-depth financial analysis of your file
- An offer structured to match the criteria of targeted investors
- Direct access to a network of African and international financial investors
- Support through to the close of your transaction
Mergers & Acquisitions - Accelerating your growth with the right partners
Velinga Capital advises its clients across every operation that transforms a company’s capital structure, whether a merger, an acquisition, or a private equity transaction.
On the sell-side, we structure and lead the disposal process (full sale, partial exit, or minority stake sale), aiming for the best outcome for the exiting shareholder through open, competitive processes that attract local and international buyers.
On the buy-side, we support acquirers and investors from target identification through to completion of the acquisition, bringing our in-depth local knowledge and network.
In private equity, we identify and connect high-potential companies with strategic or financial investors, who take a minority or majority stake. Whether you are looking to launch a new venture, reach the next stage of growth, or welcome new financial partners, we build with you the structure best suited to your goals, bringing the financial expertise, network, and credibility of Velinga Capital.
Our support includes:
- Feasibility study and valuation of your project
- Identification of the most relevant investors or acquirers
- Legal and financial structuring of the transaction
- Guidance through to signing
Business Succession - Preparing the future of your family group
Passing a business on to the next generation is a long and demanding process. Velinga Capital supports business leaders and shareholder families in structuring and succeeding at this stage, preserving the company’s legacy while protecting family interests.
Our support covers:
- Wealth assessment and business valuation
- Structuring the generational transition
- Post-transition support (mentoring, best practices, governance, and regulatory guidance)
