Corporate Finance and Capital Raising Service for Businesses in Africa

Neuma Capital is a UK-based partnership offering a boutique corporate finance advisory and capital raising service to clients throughout Africa who need to raise capital to expand their existing business or fund new projects.

Because getting the business strategy right is essential to raising capital successfully and delivering satisfactory returns to its providers, we help our clients develop a rock-solid business and marketing strategy as part of our service.

What makes us different?

We have an in-depth understanding of the dynamics and challenges of doing business in Africa - one of our managing partners has spent most of his life living and running businesses in South Africa - whilst also understanding how to speak the language of British and European investors and financiers. Our role is to be the bridge between your business in Africa and sources of capital in the UK and Europe, bringing you the capital you need to grow your business.

We have raised over $15 million to date for our clients and can raise anything from $5 to $50 million for mid-size businesses in Africa with a minimum 3-year history of significant profitability. We have a physical presence in both South Africa and the UK to facilitate this, and have specialist expertise in the financial and energy industries, but we can help any ethical business with a solid financial track record and trading history to find, engage and contract with suitable private investors, funds, family offices and financial institutions.

While we specialise in helping African businesses raise capital, if you happen to be in business in the UK and you’re looking for a loan or investment ranging from a few thousand to several hundred thousand pounds, we can probably help you as well through our sister company Neuma Consulting that offers innovative financing and other cost-saving services to UK businesses.

Essentially, we offer a professional, outsourced business development and capital raising function for your business that project manages your capital raise from inception to delivery of the funds on the right terms at the right price within an agreed timeline and budget. (Oh, and we’ll also plan and price your first-round capital raise with the second and third funding rounds in mind so you have equity ‘in the tank’ to fund potential future expansion.)

If you’d like to talk to us about how we can help you to raise the capital you need to take your business to the next level, please get in touch.
