Leasing

With a perennial lack of asset finance across Africa, there remains a deep structural opportunity to finance high quality clients who would otherwise not qualify in international capital markets.

Working with international investment banks and DFIs, we structure bespoke asset leases to suit the client profiles, while also closely managing investment risk. This enables Abalon to offer clients competitive asset financing.

Our management has a wealth of experience across corporate strategy, investment banking and asset management gained in global markets.

Agricultural Development

This is Africa’s foundation and largest sector, with immense growth potential. Abalon identifies and invests in high growth potential assets across the value chain from production through processing. Key drivers of the opportunities across the agriculture sector:

GROWTH POTENTIAL

Immense growth potential supported by vast under-utilised arable land.

FOOD PRODUCTION DEFICIT

A structural deficit in food production on the continent.

GLOBAL EXPORT DEMAND

A steady increase in global export demand based on global population growth & changing demographics in the emerging markets, especially for health focused & organic foods.

Strategic Advisory & Consultancy

We specialise in providing strategic advisory and consultancy services to NGOs and DFIs across sub-Sahara Africa.

We understand that development agencies can only deploy capital into their target markets and sectors effectively when in possession of all relevant data. We operate across the spectrum from conducting baseline surveys and feasibility studies through to developing, advising on and implementing business and project plans.

Our philosophy is to provide the full value chain in business advisory with consultancy at the core. Our network consists of continental and international banks, DFIs, sovereign wealth funds and private funds and our consultants have rich and diverse experience working for, and with, global corporates, SMEs, DFIs and NGOs across sub-Saharan Africa.
