Who We Are

The Financial Engine of an Integrated Group

Imvelo Capital is the investment and financing division of the group. Deployment is screened against institutional criteria built around bankable off-take and disciplined underwriting.

Off-take profile: Tier-1 Mining, Industrial Corporates, Listed Entities, and Electrical Power Traders.

Our Conviction

Four Pillars of Conviction

01

High-conviction regional focus

We concentrate capital where our operating footprint, regulatory relationships and market intelligence are deepest — across SADC & Sub-Saharan Africa — rather than diluting attention across markets we do not know first-hand.

02

Vertical integration

Through sibling divisions spanning EPC and Operations & Maintenance, we control delivery from financial close through long-term asset management — removing the friction and margin leakage of coordinating third parties at each stage.

03

Risk-adjusted alpha

We structure each investment around bankable off-take: creditworthy counterparties, robust Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), and conservative energy-yield assumptions. Target returns reflect disciplined underwriting, not speculative market timing.

04

Industrial renaissance

Reliable, competitively priced power is the binding constraint on Southern African industry. By backing generation and storage built for industrial off-takers — mines, manufacturers, listed corporates — our capital compounds alongside the regional economy it enables.

How We Work

From Origination to Asset Management

01

Origination & Screening

Projects enter through our network and the Project Vetting Engine. Each is screened against our deployment criteria: SADC & Sub-Saharan Africa location, off-take quality, capex requirement, and a credible path to an 18–22% IRR.

02

Technical & Commercial Diligence

Our engineering teams validate energy yield, grid access and construction cost, while the investment team stress-tests the PPA, counterparty credit and capital structure.

03

Structuring & Financial Close

We arrange equity and debt, negotiate the transaction documents, and drive the project to financial close with aligned EPC and O&M contracts from within the group.

04

Delivery & Asset Management

Post-close, sibling divisions execute construction and long-term operations while Imvelo Capital manages performance, reporting and investor relations across the asset life.
