How a deal moves through us.
The same sequence applies whether the partner is a mining group, a manufacturer or a development financier. Stages overlap; none are skipped.
- 01
Origination and fit
We establish what the partner needs, what Sierra Leone can realistically supply, and whether the two meet. Where they do not, we say so early.
- 02
Structuring
Choice of vehicle, ownership split and the subsidiary the venture will sit in — set before money moves, with the fiscal and licensing consequences priced in.
- 03
Regulatory and licensing
Registrations, permits, land instruments and agency appointments carried through the responsible ministries and agencies, with local counsel engaged.
- 04
Capital and counterparties
Introduction to the operators, financiers and offtakers the venture needs, with commercial terms documented rather than understood.
- 05
Build and operate
Site, logistics, procurement and staffing run by the subsidiary, with the partner's technical standards applied.
- 06
Governance and reporting
Board cadence, financial reporting and a compliance calendar maintained for the life of the asset. Partners see the same numbers we do.
Bring us in before the structure is fixed.
The cheapest point to get a Sierra Leone entry right is before the vehicle is registered and the terms are signed. We are open to conversations well ahead of that.
