Initiatives
While Base Capital’s main focus remains providing corporate finance,
business and strategic advice, it continues to explore opportunities
that are presented in the market and through the relationships with
its various business associates and partners. These include:
Enterprise
Development
Enterprise Development has become an important and key component of
the South African Government’s drive to address socio economic
inequalities in South Africa.
All meaningful empowerment initiatives driven by both the public and
private sectors need to ensure that
Enterprise Development becomes a workable reality across industries.
Base Capital is working with its partners to ensure it adequately
contributes in this regard and that all stakeholders benefit from
the initiatives. Further detail will be posted in this regard
as initaives are brought to fruition.
Property Industry
Base Capital has grown its expertise in the Property Industry
through its participation in
Ethembeni
Park
, an affordable housing development
in Boksburg (www.ethembenipark.co.za).
This participation has extended beyond its shareholding into capital
raising and the ongoing financial management of Ethembeni Property
Developers. Further property development opportunities are being
explored by Base Capital and its business partners through
Arrow Equity. The ongoing
involvement in property is anticipated to include Base Capital’s
involvement in a financial advisory and capital raising capacity, as
well as direct participation in the project teams on selected
transactions.
Employee Ownership
Base Capital has been appointed by iNCLUSIVE Business Group (Pty)
Ltd to assist in formulating a platform to facilitate the creation
of an employee-owned business (“EOB”) model. The model has been
structured taking into account successful business cases that have
been adopted globally. The objectives of the EOB model are
specifically aimed to:
-
facilitate meaningful
employee ownership participation in private enterprises
operating in
South Africa
and over time into
Africa
; and
-
ensure that employees
at all levels within the organisation participate meaningfully
in the running of their respective EOBs.
Mining Opportunities
Base
Capital
has established relationships with various individuals and entities
that operate in the mining industry. While this has not been a key
focus for the company, a decision has been made to explore these
relationships further and utilise these associations to the mutual
benefit of its partners.
Africa
represents a vast geographic area of resources which have been
exploited with little benefit flowing to the surrounding
communities. Base Capital intends on ensuring that the
transactions it does become involved in, will facilitate the
meaningful participation of all stakeholders.
