Corporate finance advisors in Cape Town
M&A, capital raising and corporate finance for Cape Town and Western Cape businesses.
Who are the corporate finance advisors in Cape Town?
Caban Corporate Advisors serves Cape Town and the wider Western Cape through a local practice led by Dave Romero, Group CEO of The Caban Group, backed by more than 200 transactions executed across the group since 2012. Cape Town sits apart from South Africa's other major metros economically: it is the country's most established technology and venture capital centre, its leading tourism and hospitality economy, and a significant agri-processing and wine-export base — three genuinely different businesses, often needing three different kinds of capital.
Venture capital and technology funding in Cape Town
Cape Town concentrates more of South Africa's early-stage technology and venture activity than any other city, and the Caban team works with founders raising seed through growth-stage rounds — see our guide to venture capital in South Africa for how local VC actually works, and where private equity becomes the more relevant route once a business is established and profitable rather than early-stage.
M&A, tourism and agri-processing in the Western Cape
Outside technology, the Western Cape's transaction activity concentrates in tourism and hospitality, wine and agri-processing, and the trade and logistics that flow through the port. Caban advises Cape Town business owners on selling a business, acquisitions and succession in these sectors, bringing both domestic buyers and, through Caban Capital in London, international buyer interest to the process — particularly relevant for export-facing wine and agri businesses.
Funding and capital raising in Cape Town
Western Cape businesses raising capital work with the Cape Town practice on the full route: growth funding, business funding at every stage, and development finance where a business's sector or empowerment profile fits a DFI mandate.
