How we work

A disciplined approach to capital advisory

We integrate financial expertise, policy insight, and strategic advisory capabilities to help clients structure bankable projects, mitigate risk, and mobilize capital with confidence.

Stage 01

Assess

We begin with a rigorous assessment of capital requirements, regulatory context, and risk exposure — combining policy insight with financial analysis to define a clear mandate.

Stage 02

Structure

We design tailored financing architectures, risk mitigation frameworks, and investment vehicles aligned with institutional standards and development objectives.

Stage 03

Mobilize

We facilitate capital deployment through syndication, guarantee structuring, and DFI co-financing — connecting development and institutional capital with bankable projects across Africa.

Stage 04

Monitor

We provide ongoing portfolio monitoring, reporting, and risk optimization to ensure investments deliver measurable financial and developmental impact over the long term.

Escrow Facilitation

Milestone escrow for large-scale financing

The funder places committed capital in a ring-fenced account held by a licensed agent. Tranches are released as programme milestones are met. We verify both sides, administer every release under dual control, and keep a complete audit trail.

How Consultinghouse GWB Escrow works

One segregated account per mandate
Release only on dual acceptance
Refunds only back to source
