What types of clients does Y-Capital Advisory work with?
▼
We work with a diverse range of clients including entrepreneurs and SMEs seeking growth capital,
institutional investors looking to deploy capital in East Africa, development finance institutions seeking
co-advisors, and multinational companies seeking to enter or expand in the region. Our common thread is a
focus on impactful, sustainable transactions.
What is the minimum deal size you work on?
▼
We typically work on transactions starting from $500,000, though this can vary by service type. For market
research and business advisory, we offer engagements at various budget levels. We encourage you to reach out
regardless of size — we'll be honest about whether we're the right fit.
Which countries in East Africa do you cover?
▼
Our primary focus is Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Ethiopia. We have strong local networks across
these markets. We can also support transactions in other East African countries on a case-by-case basis,
leveraging our regional network and partner relationships.
How does Y-Capital Advisory structure its fees?
▼
Our fee structures are tailored to the nature and scope of each engagement. For transaction advisory, we
typically work on a retainer plus success fee basis. For advisory and research mandates, we generally charge
fixed project fees. We discuss fee structures transparently at the outset of every engagement.
How long does a typical engagement take?
▼
Engagement timelines vary significantly by service type. Market research projects may be completed in 4–8
weeks. Business advisory mandates are often ongoing. M&A transactions typically take 6–18 months from
mandate to close, depending on deal complexity, regulatory requirements, and market conditions.
