Understanding the Capital Stack

The capital stack represents the different layers of financing in your project. Each layer has a different cost, risk profile, and priority. We provide healthcare infrastructure debt and equity funding guidance to help you understand these layers. Debt financing, such as bank loans, is typically cheaper but requires regular interest payments. Equity funding, which involves giving up a portion of ownership, is more expensive but does not require monthly repayments. We help you find the right mix that balances risk and reward. Our team analyzes your cash flow projections to determine how much debt your project can reasonably sustain. We also help you identify potential equity partners who share your long-term vision. By carefully structuring your capital stack, we protect your project from over-leveraging. We ensure that you have enough liquidity to cover operational costs while meeting your financial obligations. Our guidance is rooted in data-driven analysis and years of experience in the Nairobi market. We help you make decisions that support the long-term viability of your medical facility.
