Frequently Asked Questions About Strategic Partnerships
What does strategic partnership development cover?
It covers identifying and structuring joint ventures, local operating partnerships, distribution partnerships, institutional collaborations and consortia, as well as BEE structuring in South Africa and engagement with government stakeholders.
What is the difference between a joint venture and a strategic alliance?
In a joint venture the parties usually set up a separate company and share capital and governance. A strategic alliance is a contract-based collaboration that does not require an equity partnership. Which one fits depends on the sector, the speed required and the risk to be shared.
What is a BEE partner and why does it matter?
In South Africa, the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) policy affects ownership structure, public procurement and licensing in many sectors. Choosing the right partner can be critical for market access; we help you identify partners aligned with your commercial objectives.
How do you identify the right local partner?
We first clarify your objectives and what you expect from a partner. We then screen candidates in our network and on the ground, pre-qualify them for capability, reputation and commercial fit, and introduce you to the suitable ones.
Partnership or acquisition?
It depends on the sector, the speed required, the capital available and the regulatory environment. Where an acquisition is the best route, our buy-side advisory in South Africa supports the transaction.
Do you work only with Turkish companies?
No. We support Turkish and international companies, investors and strategic operators that want to build partnerships in African markets.
