WHAT WE DO
Different situations call for different forms of involvement.
Alapog works with businesses, owners, investors and management teams where experienced judgement, leadership, partnership or active involvement can materially influence an outcome.
Sometimes that means advising on a specific decision or transaction. Sometimes it requires a more active leadership role. In other situations, Alapog may help bring together the right partners and capital, or develop an opportunity from its earliest stages. The form of involvement follows the opportunity rather than a predetermined service model.
Advise
Judgement where the decision matters.
Partner
Bringing opportunity, capital and execution together.
Alapog provides strategic, commercial and transaction advice where the underlying situation is sufficiently important or complex to benefit from experienced senior involvement.
Investment and acquisition assessment
Commercial and economic evaluation
Strategy and portfolio decisions
Transaction and financing support
Asset and project diligence
Business planning and decision support
The objective is a better decision, not advice for its own sake.
Alapog works with owners, management teams and capital providers to develop opportunities into credible, investable propositions.
Shape the investment case
Assemble advisers and capital partners
Support diligence and structuring
Lead or coordinate the fundraising process
Remain involved through governance or operating roles where aligned
Support governance and execution after investment
The objective is to create alignment around the outcome, not simply facilitate a financing transaction.
Selected board, executive, interim or project leadership roles where a business is navigating growth, investment, transaction, transition or strategic change.
Board and advisory-board roles
Interim or executive leadership
Commercial and corporate development
Transaction or transformation leadership
New business development
Building operating capability
Alapog is selective about these engagements, focusing on situations where active involvement can make a meaningful difference.
Alapog develops new propositions where there is a clear market need, an identifiable advantage and a credible route to execution.
Identify and develop the opportunity
Establish the investment thesis
Assemble partners and capability
Test economics and operating model
Raise capital and build the organisation
Bring the proposition to market
Sometimes the best opportunity does not yet exist. It may need to be created.
One platform. Different ways to participate.
The same opportunity can require different forms of involvement at different stages. Alapog can advise, partner, lead and/or build — depending on what will create the best outcome.
An owner considering succession
Alapog might initially advise on strategic options, help lead the transition, and work with management and appropriate capital partners to structure the next phase of ownership.
An investor assessing an asset
The role could begin with advising on the opportunity, supporting diligence and structuring, and — where appropriate — extend into active involvement through governance, leadership or execution.
A business constrained by capital
Here, the focus may be on establishing what would make the business genuinely investable, assembling the necessary advisers and capital partners, and remaining involved in delivering the resulting plan.
An emerging market opportunity
In some situations, an emerging market creates an opportunity that has yet to be fully formed — developing the thesis, assembling the team and partners, establishing the economics and taking the proposition to suitable sources of capital.
Where we focus.
Alapog's deepest experience is in energy and infrastructure, particularly where assets, engineering, economics and capital meet. We also consider selected opportunities in related sectors where commercial judgement, active involvement and the right partnerships can materially inflence the outcome.
How Alapog works.
Our approach is guided by a few simple principles.
