Catalyst brings corporate finance, private equity, private credit and specialist financial services together within one connected group, supported by a network of affiliate businesses and expert partners.
Capital and Advisory are led directly within Catalyst, giving the group close control over transaction design and execution. Wealth and Risk are delivered through selected and appropriately licensed providers, extending the group’s capabilities without reducing it to a general referral network.
The experience and relationships behind Catalyst have been built over close to a decade, with certain funding relationships extending into their second decade.
Catalyst brings capital, advice and execution together around the same transaction objective.
Catalyst’s origination relationships are built through repeated delivery.
Several channels generate multiple transactions each month and, for some, Catalyst has become a preferred external funder because of shared credit understanding, efficient communication and confidence in execution. Members of Catalyst’s executive team have completed hundreds of transactions with one longstanding origination partner over the course of the relationship.
The same continuity is reflected in direct client relationships
One healthcare professional who has been serviced by the wider group for close to five years recently completed a fourth transaction, the largest to date and funded directly by Catalyst. The strength of these relationships is reflected in repeat instructions, increasingly substantial transactions and confidence in Catalyst’s ability to complete.
Catalyst is connected to businesses, capital providers and professional advisers across private equity, private credit, insurance, wealth, healthcare, infrastructure and corporate finance, extending the group’s practical reach across South African private markets.
