We’ll support you as you grow through acquisitions or just raise finance for your next venture – or find BEE partners.

Enabling monetization of and succession for your business is an important consideration that requires planning long before the date of your exit. We work with you to get your business ready for its next owners, putting in place processes to exit and working with you to secure the best option possible – for you, your employees and your clients.

Along the journey, we also help you care for your employees by supporting you with Employee Benefits such as pension funds and life insurance – to enable you to give them the best packages to keep them motivated and ensure their wellbeing is cared for.

Southern Pride is able to advise on critical business requirements, such as:

Private equity options to monetise or finance your business.
Investment management for excess cash flow
Appropriate buy-and-sell agreements – so that you don’t end up in partnership with your business partner’s family if they die.
Key man insurance – for the people your company is dependent on, and any loans underwritten by individuals.
Group benefits – that make sure your employees have the right benefits in place, as not only protects your staff but also assists with long-term employee retention.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Financial stress is one of the key detractors of employee performance. We will support you in providing your employees with both retirement funds and life and disability insurance. We will help you onboard them into the funds and advise them of the best options for their personal circumstances.

BUSINESS ASSURANCE

Your business partner’s family will become your new business partner if he or she dies. In most cases, they’ll lack the skills to contribute at the level your partner did. We can help put Buy and Sell agreements in place and put the life insurance contracts that make it affordable at the time of death or disability.

In addition, we can help you with key man insurance to protect you from the financial impact from losing a key employee.

Or, if you’re considering exiting the business or selling part of it, we can help support you in advising on the systems, processes and people you’ll need in order to effect a seamless transition.
