Financial advisory
Project and corporate finance advisory across the full transaction lifecycle — from bid strategy through structuring to financial close.
Project finance advisory · Cape Town
Independent infrastructure and M&A advisory.
J Advisory is a bespoke project finance practice. We build the numbers that transactions are decided on — modelling, structuring, capital raising and financial close management for developers, investors and banks.
The practice
Senior expertise, without the institutional overhead.
J ADVISORY (Pty) Ltd offers financial modelling, financial structuring, capital raising support, financial close process management and hedging process management to project developers, investors and banks in project finance transactions.
Every mandate is led personally by a senior adviser with close to twenty years on infrastructure transactions — from bid strategy through lender negotiation to financial close and into asset management. The result is faster answers in the room, and a model the lenders trust.
