Our Services
Consulting Services
At Aventurine Global Investments, we pride ourselves with being able to provide consulting services for all critical stages of major initiatives and projects. We are able to infuse our experts either at the conception of a client’s project or at implementation stages without difficulty. This is achieved primarily by ensuring that we either develop or revalidate overall Project Objectives, Guiding principles and the neccessary Framework. By so doing, a definitive Working Plan is created that outlines the Design and Implementation strategy of the Project.
We are able to carry out market and industry sector trends that, coupled with the assessment and evaluation of the projects operational strategy and vision, can ascertain the success of a clients’ initiative at conception. Equally, we make it compulsory for our clients to establish and/or strengthen their governance structures and practices which guarantees excellence at every operating level of the projects. This is essential in maintaining swift work flows and ensuring that project timelines are achieved, which in turn guarantees our clients’ satisfaction.
Project Management
Aventurine Global Investment has a dedicated Project Management team that can be allocated to any site with a structure that is customised to the needs of the clients. Our international consultants are able to co-ordinate all local, regional and global stakeholders for the project. This allows them to put in place systems that ensure efficient parallel processing of all workstreams. By so doing, they avoid duplication of efforts and internal conflicts that tend to delay projects.
As the Clearing House for All project information and communications, Aventurine Global Investments becomes the General Secretariat for the Project while ensuring that the clients’ input is followed through by creating and maintaining Status Tracking and Reporting Mechanisms that necessitate the adherence to the framework within the projected timelines. We go the extra mile of providing support to clients in handling both internal and external stakeholders. This positions us better to identify and mitigate key risks as/when they arise so that all parties remain acknowledged, informed and invested to the success of the projects.
Project Approval Processes
Organically, Consulting Projects tend to be adaptable and continuously evolving, within the overall Project guidelines and Scope of Work approved at inception. As such, we establish approval systems and processes to designate what decisions can be taken at the various levels of the Project Governance structure, including which decisions need to be referred to Client Management and/or the Board of Directors/other Governing Body (as applicable).
The goal of the reporting and approval systems combined is to maximize the efficient use of Operating Management’s time. This is necessary to ensure Management participation in key initiatives and communications, while not creating an excessive burden, which distracts Management from running of their respective business and/or service areas.
Ultimately, our goal is to meet the clients’ goals by ensuring the day to day management decisions are done efficiently, conducted within the governance framework and are implemented seamlessly because when there is a smooth work flow, even timeline expectations can be exceeded.
Advisory Services
We are able to conduct assessments of transactions, projects’ risks and provide viable risk management and risk mitigation options. We are able to achieve this by means of continuous monitoring of all processes from planning to execution including constant feasibility checks on the approval processes for the clients. We maintain a stronghold on the projects and initiative since we coordinate all technical, commercial, legal and financial due diligence aspects for the clients. Separately, we can equally establish metrics for evaluating proposals, bids, tenders and related processes for all Public and Private sector projects.
Due to the existence of a legal team within our organisational structure, we can advise, manage or coordinate and support the client in the preparations of relevant contracts including financial, commercial, technical and environmental agreements. From inception to execution of partnership and commercial agreements and Financial Investment Decisions or Contract Awards, we are able to manoeuvre our clients’ projects steadily without compromising the clients’ objectives or regulatory commitments.
All the above are addressed comprehensively prior to the commencement of any project or transaction. Therefore, milestones, deliverables and associated timelines are guarded closely right through to execution, thus keeping risks at a minimum and saving time and resources for the client.
Financial Advisory
For business growth, partnerships and joint ventures are at times necessary to combat risks and also to raise funds for turnkey projects. Aventurine Global Investments is able to join parties together smoothly. We begin by identifying and screening the potential value-add equity and strategic positioning for interested clients, corporations, affiliations and other related business units. Thereafter we assess the benefits of assets combinations for the clients’ considerations bearing in mind the market or industry trends. Often, other spin-offs, divestitures and buyouts would ensue from a merger or acquisition and our legal and governance teams would be there to ensure all these minor yet critical tasks are handled with care to the benefit and good standing of the client.
Corporate And Business Restructuring & Workouts
The global market is constantly evolving and the industry sectors are changing with it. Our experience in monitoring industry trends keep us relevant to clients as they navigate their business terrain and acclimatise to the changes in ways which keep them profitable and growing. Where necessary, we advise on the clients’ need for restructuring due to global laws taking effect or adverse market/political changes. Such times, we rely on our experienced and energetic international consultants to provide feasible and long term solutions.
This would include assessment of the clients’ present position, redefining their corporate or capital structure and then providing lasting solutions. Aventurine Global Investments can confidently handle the designing and executing of comprehensive restructuring and workout plans which in effect, transforms the viability of clients’ assets, business segments and corporations. This is achieved through the provision of accurate technical, professional and skills training and support to every stakeholder.
Aside from the above, we regularly advise clients on current and projected financial market conditions as well as the global and domestic issues that may impact on these. We provide actionable information to address eminent financial matters that could cover security and collateral terms, ring-fencing and the securitisation of cash flows, lender syndicate considerations and equity investor terms and conditions. Where applicable, our experienced experts can even recommend the best mix of fundraising options and/or financial and strategic investor and partner combinations that are well suited for the initiative.
Overall, we provide recommendations that maximise the financial benefits and returns for projects, transactions, equity and strategic partnership and commercial arrangements, all of which is done from a singular focal point- Aventurine Global Investments.
Project Facilitation
The African region is wealthy in its diversity of cultures, topography and business landscapes. This is also a region ripe with vast potential for growth in every industry sector, which translates to multiple opportunities for major projects especially in the telecommunications, minerals, infrastructural, energy and agricultural sectors.
At Aventurine Global Investments, our aim is to foster this growth and development on the region by marrying the relevant projects to the compatible investors for the benefit of all stakeholders involved. Our international consultants are qualified and capable to promote any major project or initiative. We can propel any priority projects/initiatives either when they stall or at infancy, through our industry and technical expertise.
We have the capacity to promote and assemble a one-stop turnkey project solution and consortium which would include Project Structuring, Management, Funding and EPC Contracting. Furthermore, we would provide continuous project management services through constant monitoring and supervision of all processes related to the sustainability of the project. The involvement of our professional project management team on a recurring basis can add value to both planned and ongoing projects since they are able to efficiently identify cost- saving opportunities, potentially reconfigure and restructure various elements of the project to enhance productivity and foster better communications and decision making processes, all of which will enhance the projects’ framework and ensure the overall success of the project.
Projects Development And Initiatives
Due to the broad experience in the public and private sector that our global consultants have, Aventurine Global Investments has a favourable insight on how to best combine the developmental goals with the commercial activities of any clients in the variable industry sectors. We generally operate from the premise that the most sustainable developmental initiatives are those that can create an environment which allows the average citizen to make a living through productive employment.
It is therefore organic that we often partner with and support Governments, Ministries, Departments and Agencies, as we develop commercially sustainable projects in otherwise underserved and underdeveloped areas within the region. We provide guarantees on our projects on the basis that we conduct thorough Risk Assessment and Risk Management activities prior to the commencement of any major initiatives. Our teams place focus towards identifying and assessing the key risks that are inherent to most projects including Operational risk, Performance Risk, Financial and Commodity Risk, Construction Risk, Counterparty Risk, Ownership and Rights of Way Risk, Policy Risk, Legal Risk and Reputational Risk.
In short, Aventurine Global Investments is vastly capable of driving large scale projects both in the public and private sectors, within major industry sectors from the conceptualisation stage all the way to kick-off and operations, with ease due to our competent and experienced team that has built great rapport with relevant agencies, departments and governments on the region, effectively.All these are evaluated with precision and relevant recommendations are put in place while sound Risk Management Implementation strategies are effected to ensure the success of any project to the satisfaction of all stakeholders.
