What we do

One discipline across every mandate: prove it before you recommend it.

Why clients appoint us

One firm for the money and the management.

Most advisers stop at the term sheet. The reason a facility gets drawn late, or a project misses its case, is usually operational — so we are built to advise on both sides of that line.

Funding and delivery under one roof

The team that arranges your facility is the team that stress-tested the plan behind it. Nothing is lost in the handover between the finance adviser and the consultant.

Senior people, start to finish

The person who scopes your mandate is the person who writes the report. Nothing is handed down to a junior team after the pitch.

Findings you can hand over

Deliverables are built to survive a credit committee, an investment committee or a counterparty’s question — sourced, dated and defensible.

How a mandate runs

Four stages. You know the cost and the deliverable at each one.

Stage 01

Scope and terms

A short working session, then a written engagement letter: question, evidence required, deliverable, timeline, fee. No open-ended retainers.

Stage 02

Evidence and analysis

Data room review, management interviews, site and market verification, and a model built from primary sources rather than the sponsor’s deck.

Stage 03

Structure and options

We set out the realistic routes — and the ones we would not pursue — with the sensitivities, risks and counterparty appetite behind each.

Stage 04

Execution and follow-through

Preparing the information package, running the lender or buyer process, negotiating terms, and staying on through the operational changes the deal assumed.

Where we work

Built for capital-intensive sectors, where the funding structure is the whole question.

Our core work sits where capex is heavy, tenors are long and the funding package decides whether the asset gets built at all — energy, power, infrastructure, real estate and industrials. These are the mandates where independent testing of the case earns its fee fastest.

  • Energy — oil, gas and downstream
  • Power, water and renewables
  • Infrastructure, transport and PPP
  • Real estate and mixed-use development
  • Industrial, manufacturing and petrochemicals
  • Hospitality and leisure development
  • Logistics, warehousing and trade infrastructure
