Introducing CAPITIL’s Equity Story System™

OUR APPROACH

Designed to increase valuation

Our Equity Story System™ is a proprietary, end-to-end methodology designed to shape investor and market conviction, and drive valuation across the hold. Shapes in billion-rand deal environments, it underpins every one of the projects we do.

While every business has a unique story to tell, our system brings the kind of discipline and rigour necessary to consistently enhance valuation.

OUR SERVICES

The four integrated service pillars of our Equity Story System™

  • Articulate why the business is valuable today and why it will be worth more tomorrow.

    We craft a compelling, evidence-based equity story that aligns the strategic narrative with financial performance, sector tailwinds, moats, and forward growth priorities.
    This becomes the core narrative investors use to understand and value the business.

    What’s included:

    • Macro environment analysis

    • Tailwinds and market opportunity

    • Moats and competitive differentiation

    • Financial performance and outlook

    • Strategic priorities and forward plan

    • Full Equity Story (8–12 page PDF)

  • Define who will buy your business, why, and at what premium.

    We build a clear, investor-grade exit strategy that identifies likely buyers, the logic behind their interest, and the value drivers that matter most. This becomes the blueprint for aligned value creation across the hold.

    What’s included

    • Buyer universe and motivations

    • Premium logic and value drivers

    • Ideal exit window and timing considerations

    • Key risks, proof points, and conditions required to maximise price

    • A concise, data-grounded exit strategy statement

  • Ensure investors and the broader market see a consistent, credible story long before any major inflection points.

    Most sale processes start with a first impression. We audit and align all public-facing materials so your equity story is reinforced everywhere investors look.

    What’s included

    • Public materials gap analysis

    • Website and digital alignment

    • Brand narrative and messaging overhaul
      PR and leadership visibility support

    • LLM and AI-readiness

    • Consistent equity story execution across all public channels

  • Translate the equity story into high-impact bidder documents.

    We design and develop every core document bidders rely on to understand, value, and benchmark the business — ensuring the narrative and the numbers reinforce one another.

    What’s included

    • Teaser

    • Executive Summary

    • Information Memorandum design and strategic narrative

    • Bidder portal content and structure

    • Management presentation design

    • Presentation coaching

    • Q&A preparation and rehearsal

    • Alignment workshops

    • Mock investor sessions
