ABOUT 0TO1 ADVISORY

Built around the decisions that change a business.

Strategy, capital, governance and execution often have to move together. 0to1 helps boards and management make one coherent decision.

Major decisions rarely fit inside one discipline. Raising capital, selling a business, entering a new market or preparing for public markets can involve strategy, finance, operations, governance and execution at the same time.

0to1 was built for that moment. We advise on decisions that affect value, ownership, capital, performance and the balance sheet, then organise the work around the decision rather than a service line.

Preparation matters before capital or a transaction. Financial information, governance, the capital case and management readiness all shape the terms a company can achieve.

The work also continues after a deal. Capital on the balance sheet or a signed transaction does not improve pricing, cash, margins, systems or management by itself.

Africa requires local judgement as well as institutional discipline. Where an assignment needs legal, tax, audit, engineering or other specialist work, we bring the right people in while keeping one 0to1 lead responsible for the whole assignment.

Clients should expect clear responsibility, discretion and a team that stays close to the work.
