Corporate Finance · Transaction Advisory
We are Venture Catalysts
Saloterra Financial is a specialist corporate finance, transaction advisory and management consulting practice. We are engaged by decision makers who need an independent view on something they are about to commit to.
The distinction
We do not merely advise on transactions. We engineer the conditions under which capital flows toward opportunity, with a precision and a conviction that institutional capital recognises immediately.
Our approach
Engaged for the whole journey
Most advisers are engaged for a moment. A valuation, a diligence report, an introduction to a lender. We are engaged for the journey that runs from the first serious thought about a transaction to the year after it has closed, because that is where value is made or lost.
Before capital is deployed
Intelligence investors can act on
Due diligence that is investigative rather than confirmatory. A read on the market tested against what buyers and lenders are doing now, not what a business plan assumes they will do.
Structure chosen for the business as it is. We would rather tell a client that the equity story is not yet fundable than take it to market and spend their credibility learning the same thing in public.
After financial close
We are still there in year two
Signing is the easy part. What follows is a growth plan that has to survive contact with reality. An exit strategy that needs defining and then implementing. Risk and governance frameworks a new funder will expect to see working. A management team absorbing scrutiny it has never had before.
We stay for that. Clients call us with the difficult strategic questions, often long after the mandate that introduced us has closed.
Our method
A straightforward discipline
We listen
To what our clients need. Also to the things they have not quite said yet.
We study
What the market will actually bear, tested against evidence rather than assumption.
We understand
What investors need to see before they will part with capital.
Then we construct the bridge between all three.
What we do
Five practice areas, one continuous relationship
Each of these can be engaged on its own. More often they run together, carrying a transaction from the first honest assessment right through to close and well beyond it.
What this is ultimately for
Client outcomes
The result is an institutional calibre of service, before investment and long after it. Very few firms of our size and focus manage to deliver both.
