The standard the market has been waiting for.
MOSAIQ Capital is a specialist South African business brokerage and corporate advisory practice built to operate at an institutional standard inside a market that has, for too long, been served by generalists. We were founded on a single conviction: serious businesses deserve serious counsel — and the existing brokerage market does not deliver it.
A specialist firm, not a listings portal.
MOSAIQ Capital does two things, and does them properly. We broker the purchase and sale of privately held South African businesses, and we advise companies on the numbers that decide those deals — valuation, tax posture, and cash strategy.
The market we serve has long been dominated by rule-of-thumb multiples, template mandates and listing portals. We built MOSAIQ to work the way institutional deal teams work: models before multiples, process before promotion, and discretion before reach.
- Business brokerageConfidential sale and acquisition mandates for owner-managed companies — from valuation to a signed deal.
- Corporate advisorySARS tax compliance, Compromise of Tax Debt, and VAT optimisation — handled at board level.
- A curated marketplaceA vetted selection of income-generating businesses currently for sale through the firm.
Rigorous on the numbers. Human about the decision.
Selling or buying a business is usually the largest financial decision an owner ever makes. Our job is to make sure it rests on numbers that hold — and a process that protects everyone at the table.
DCF-grade valuations
Every mandate starts with a real model: normalised earnings, a bottom-up five-year forecast, a properly constructed cost of capital, and precedent-transaction cross-checks — not a multiple on a brochure.
How we value a businessConfidential by default
Every engagement begins with a private conversation, not a portal. Listings go to market as teasers; the full picture is released under NDA, to qualified counterparties only, once we understand who is asking and why.
Defensible numbers
The valuation and the Information Memorandum are built to survive interrogation by a sophisticated buyer — assumptions listed, model appended, diligence pack ready behind it. That is what protects the price in negotiation.
We can stand behind our own numbers.
MOSAIQ Capital is not only an intermediary. The firm maintains the balance sheet to participate as principal — to acquire a business in its own right, or to co-invest alongside a buyer where alignment strengthens the deal.
That capacity disciplines everything we do. A firm prepared to transact at its own valuation has no room for inflated appraisals or brochure numbers. And where MOSAIQ acts as principal or holds an interest in a transaction, we say so — plainly and upfront.
- SellersA credible fallback at the table — the firm valuing your business is prepared to act on that valuation.
- BuyersA co-investment partner where shared exposure makes a deal stronger, with interests declared from the outset.
- EveryoneAdvice priced as if our own capital were at stake — because sometimes it is.
Qail Adam — Chief Executive Officer
MOSAIQ Capital was founded by Qail Adam, who leads the firm as Chief Executive. The firm is founder-led by design: when you engage MOSAIQ, you deal with the principal — the person who builds the model, runs the process and answers for the outcome — not an account team.
Under his leadership the firm has built its valuation discipline into proprietary software: a full discounted-cash-flow and deal-operations platform that runs every MOSAIQ engagement, from the first model to the final document.
