In today’s fast-moving African markets, access to the right capital — at the right time, and on the right terms — can be the difference between a business that stalls and one that scales. The Mercy Seat Group Limited was founded on a simple but powerful conviction: that ambitious businesses in Kenya and across Sub-Saharan Africa deserve financial advisory of global standard, delivered with the speed and personal attention of a boutique firm.
Who We Are
The Mercy Seat Group Limited is a full-service financial services firm based in Nairobi, Kenya. We provide our clients with an unbeatable consultancy experience that delivers on their bottom line — in a timely manner. From strategic reviews to complex cross-border transactions, our team of consultants is experienced in transaction advisory for mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, and multi-factorial capital partnerships.
We work closely with investors abroad to connect local enterprises with the best investment options available globally. Whether you are a founder preparing for your first institutional raise, a family business planning a succession-driven sale, or a private equity fund evaluating opportunities in East Africa, we bring the structure, discipline and relationships needed to close.
What We Do
Our advisory practice is built around five core service lines:
1. Strategic Options Advisory
We help clients identify and evaluate the optimal financial structure to support their corporate strategy. This includes strategic and financial reviews, business valuations, and analysis of options such as M&A, private equity, public equity, mezzanine capital and debt funding.
2. Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) Advisory
Our deal team provides objective, sector-focused advice to navigate the complexities of M&A. We evaluate potential acquirers and targets, advise on transaction structure, valuation and financing, and work to realize maximum value through every sale or acquisition.
3. Private Equity Advisory
We offer private equity firms and development finance institutions (DFIs) investing in Sub-Saharan Africa tailor-made support across their investment cycle — from portfolio evaluation and buy-side due diligence to investment sourcing, exits and valuation.
4. Debt Products Advisory
We help clients select and secure cost-effective capital solutions consistent with current market conditions and management objectives — including corporate bonds, commercial paper, mezzanine debt financing and bank syndications.
5. Equity Capital Raising Advisory
We assist clients in structuring and valuing their businesses in preparation for an IPO or significant private equity raise, then execute the transaction to achieve the best possible value for shareholders.
Who We Serve
Our client base reflects the diversity and ambition of the East African economy. We are proud to have advised:
- Marliite Insurance Services
- Jericho Women Self Help Group
- Zhehiang Developers
- Gelpha Development Group
- Maandhi Homes
From insurers and real estate developers to community enterprises and private equity funds, our sector expertise spans financial services, real estate and development, housing, SMEs, and capital markets.
Why Choose a Boutique Advisory Firm?
Large institutions bring scale, but boutique advisory firms bring speed, senior attention, and agility. At The Mercy Seat Group Limited, our clients deal directly with experienced consultants throughout the engagement — not a rotating cast of junior analysts. This means:
- Faster turn-around times, without compromising on quality.
- Senior-level judgment on every transaction.
- Direct access to decision-makers who own the outcome.
- Tailored solutions, not off-the-shelf templates.
Our Commitment to Community
We believe that financial growth should be inclusive. That is why our consultants dedicate time to pro bono work with underfunded communities — ensuring that aspiring entrepreneurs gain access to capital and training for their fledgling businesses. This commitment to community impact is central to who we are, not an afterthought.
