financial advisory services
The Financial Advisory division of Mecene Investment offers investment
banking and financial advisory services to Social Enterprises in
Sub-Saharan Africa, including microfinance institutions and related
businesses. We aim to provide services to African Companies that are
too small for mainstream investment banking firms, but nonetheless have
tremendous potential in servicing bottom-of-the-pyramid markets.
Mecene
Investment provides on-the ground investment banking services across
the African continent. We are active in the private equity and debt
markets, where the firm's financial advisory team assists companies in
accessing investment funds targeting social investments in Africa. The
companies we target range from small start-up companies to
middle-market, well-established organizations.
We strive to
offer our clients access the private capital markets on a best-efforts
basis, including raising startup capital for new ventures, expansion
capital for companies with operating histories, and acquisition
finance. Our transactions can involve sourcing a combination of debt
and equity investments as part of a total financing package.

Investment provides a broad range of services to organizations looking
for assistance in accessing the private markets including the
following:
- Identifying potential capital sources;
- Reviewing business plans and developing information memoranda;
- Creating projections and financial models;
- Identifying the most advantageous investment structure for the firm’s capital needs;
- Sourcing and evaluating investment proposals from potential capital sources;
