TQA is a South African principal capital firm, established in 2017. We advise on transactions, arrange and deploy capital, and stay actively engaged in every position — in the space between bank credit and private equity, where most of the real economy lives.
Bank credit has tightened. Development finance is slow. Private equity is too big for most of the real economy. TQA occupies that gap — advising on transactions and arranging and deploying capital with the speed of a trader and the discipline of an institution.
We advise on and arrange transactions for clients, and invest alongside them where conviction is high. Our returns are aligned to the outcome of every transaction we write.
Transaction-secured decisions in days — underpinned by disciplined pricing, robust security, and institutional-grade documentation.
From first drawdown to final settlement or exit, every exposure is actively managed — never placed and left to chance.
Everything we do maps to four capabilities — advising on the transaction, deploying the capital, accelerating the growth, and managing the exit — applied across three businesses.
Purchase-order finance, invoice discounting, contract-backed and cashflow-based lending for South African businesses with confirmed orders and quality debtors.
Development funding for agricultural and agri-processing projects — from land preparation through processing infrastructure and offtake — structured around milestones.
Acquisition and turnaround of distressed businesses, loan books, and underperforming assets — buying well, stabilising operations, and restoring cash generation.
From an investment practice to an integrated platform spanning advisory, lending, project development, and distressed assets.
TQA established its practice and matured its transaction advisory and post-investment support methodology across South African markets — building sector expertise in enterprise, infrastructure, and agricultural assets.
TQA expanded its platform — building out the KwikBridge business lending vehicle and the AgriShare project development platform alongside its core practice, widening capability across asset classes.
TQA operates as an integrated advisory, lending, and investment platform — advising on transactions, deploying capital across its three businesses, and actively managing every position.
