Growth, wealth or exit?

We'll find you the best deal.

No matter if you’re looking for a full sale, part sale or the right strategic partner, we will find the right buyer for you. Every business owner needs an exit strategy – a roadmap. At some stage, you’ll want to de-risk your business and externalise your wealth. And when you do, you’ll want a partner on your side to maximise your value.

Through our process and extensive global networks, Deal Leaders International attracts a far wider audience than the obvious choices to help you grow your business, extract value or exit through a strategically sound equity deal. Our approach is all about you, the seller. What's important to you is important to us. We only triumph when you do.

We typically recommend companies with an EBITDA between R20 million and R300 million per year to attract good acquirers. However, we welcome businesses of all sizes as we can assist in developing a roadmap to saleability.

We are proud to announce that DLI acted as the exclusive sell-side advisor to Cobra Group Holdings on its strategic investment from Alterra Capital Partners.

Cobra, founded in 1986, is Africa’s leading designer and manufacturer of specialised mining support and firefighting vehicles, as well as the continent’s largest producer of hose reels. This partnership with Alterra will accelerate Cobra’s growth across Africa and beyond, strengthening its impact on workplace safety, industrial resilience and local job creation.

At DLI, we are honoured to have guided Cobra on this milestone transaction — a deal that showcases the strength of African industrial champions and the global appetite for high-quality, differentiated businesses from our continent.

This also marks our 6th successful deal in just 8 months, highlighting the strong appetite among investors for high-quality South African businesses and the value they deliver across Africa and beyond.
