01 / About

Creating long-term value for our partners.

Prime Growth Capital Partners is a specialist corporate finance and investment advisory firm serving the African mid-market. We bridge the gap between complex potential and institutional capital — originating, structuring, and closing transactions with discipline and precision.

Our work is built on first-hand institutional experience: capital raised and transactions structured across merchant banking, global growth-markets private equity, development finance, and public-sector investment. We bring that depth to founders, institutions, and corporates who need more than advice — they need execution.

02 / Our Business

What we do.

i.

Capital Raising & Placement

We raise and place debt, equity, and structured capital — from senior debt facilities to short-dated credit placements and structured-product distribution with leading issuers.

ii.

Structured Transactions

We originate, structure, and close bespoke transactions — combining equity, derivatives, and royalty or receivable structures to engineer risk, return, and exit from the outset.

iii.

Investment Advisory & M&A

We act as external investment advisor to institutional investors across multi-asset mandates — listed equities, fixed income, and structured products — and advise on mergers, acquisitions, and disposals from origination through to completion.

iv.

Valuations & Due Diligence

Business valuations and transaction due diligence that institutional capital can rely on — the technical backbone of every transaction we advise.

Specialist Capability

Defined Outcome Investment Solutions.

Markets are uncertain; outcomes need not be. We design and place defined-outcome structures that give institutional investors a known risk-and-return profile from the outset — engineered downside protection, defined participation in the upside, and a payoff shaped to the mandate rather than the market’s mood.

Engineered protection

Capital-protection and buffer structures that define the worst case before a rand is committed.

Defined participation

Upside exposure shaped to the mandate — yield enhancement, leveraged participation, or capped growth.

Issuer-grade execution

Originated and placed alongside leading local and international issuers, end to end.
