Transaction Advisory
Transaction structuring, capital raising preparation, commercial analysis, and investor-readiness assessments for start-ups and expanding businesses. We bridge the gap between entrepreneurs and investors with compelling, data-driven business cases.
Structuring Transactions for Success
Carthena Advisory provides end-to-end transaction advisory services designed to maximise deal value and minimise execution risk. We support clients across the full transaction lifecycle: from opportunity identification and commercial analysis through structuring, negotiation support, and post-close transition planning. Our transaction advisory practice serves entrepreneurs seeking growth capital, established businesses pursuing strategic acquisitions, and institutional investors evaluating deployment opportunities across West Africa.
Our strength lies in the intersection of financial rigour and commercial pragmatism. We do not produce generic pitch decks; we build investor-grade documentation anchored in validated market data, defensible financial projections, and clearly articulated value creation theses. Every transaction mandate begins with a thorough assessment of the client's strategic objectives, capital requirements, and risk appetite, ensuring that the transaction structure aligns with long-term business goals rather than short-term expediency.
Capital Raising and Investor Readiness
For businesses seeking external capital, Carthena Advisory prepares comprehensive investor-readiness packages that include financial models, information memoranda, management presentations, and due diligence data rooms. We have supported capital raises across equity, debt, and hybrid instruments, working alongside development finance institutions, private equity funds, commercial banks, and angel investor networks.
Our commercial due diligence capabilities provide investors and acquirers with independent, unbiased assessments of target businesses. We examine revenue sustainability, customer concentration risk, competitive moats, and operational scalability to produce reports that enable informed decision-making. Whether you are on the buy side or the sell side, Carthena Advisory ensures you enter every transaction with clarity, confidence, and a defensible position.
