Through its activities in debt and equity financing, mergers
and acquisitions, balance sheet restructuring and corporate
advisory services, Loita affords a critical link for African
and multinational corporations to grow according to market
demands. Privatisation in Africa has also increased the
demand for first-class corporate advisors.
Critical success factors of
the Loita Corporate Finance group include:
Its professionals’ presence for over decade in a
diverse set of African countries (including Angola,
Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Namibia,
Nigeria, South Africa, Tunisia, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe
and Mauritius)
The location of its team in Johannesburg, Lusaka,
Luanda, Blantyre, Nairobi and Mauritius with the requisite
language capabilities and local market knowledge
The unique ability to combine local knowledge and
skills with international experience, gained from
work undertaken in a similar industry sector or geographic
environment, to provide an informed response to a
client’s needs
Its ability to respond quickly, either telephonically
or in person
Its uncompromising policy of mutual respect to the
client and each other, integrity, teamwork, service
and excellence
The Corporate
Finance team is comprised of five sector-focused teams:
Diversifieds (e.g. retail, paper and packaging,
financial services and agri-products)
Energy
Mining
Telecommunications, IT and Media
Transport
Hospitality
These transaction
groupings reflect Loita’s experience in the fastest-growing
and most important sectors in Africa.
