Clade has provided specialist strategic and corporate advisory services at board and senior management level since 1997. We believe that there is a need for a small, independent and dynamic firm incorporating the highest standards of professionalism and integrity with innovative solutions to client problems. Further, we believe that corporations require pragmatic and realistic advice on a range of issues which traditional strategy consulting firms or corporate finance operations are not qualified to provide.
This belief has been confirmed by our success. We have advised a number of South Africa's most important organizations on crucial strategic and corporate finance issues. However, we do not restrict our clients to these large organizations - some of our most intellectually challenging assignments have been with small but rapidly growing organizations.
One of our core competences is the turnaround of ailing businesses. We have assisted a number of private equity funders and banks in turning businesses around and in recouping investments in under performing businesses.
Clients include:
- The Bond Exchange of South Africa
- Anglo American Corporation
- South African Government
- De Beers
- The International Finance Corporation
- The City of Cape Town
- Sanlam
- Old Mutual
Projects include:
- Successfully defending a major financial institution against a hostile takeover.
- Successfully structuring and negotiating the sale of an advertising company to a larger competitor.
- Advising a major private equity player on portfolio disposals and recoupment of failed investments.
- Turning around a number of companies, from a range of industries including: financial services, manufacturing, distribution, financial service, medical device and retail.
- Advising a major financial institution on revenue enhancement and growth strategy.
- Advising a significant financial institution on strategic alliances, including negotiating and managing the exit of an investor and the replacement of this investor by a company with a better strategic fit.
