The SA business sector has had to weather numerous challenges over the past three years, including the severe disruption to business continuity brought about by blows to global shipping and supply chains caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the civil unrest in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal in July 2021, and more recently the severe floods in the latter province.
Looking ahead, SA faces several headwinds. The country is entering an upward interest rate cycle to curb inflationary pressures in the economy, we can expect further load-shedding as Eskom struggles to maintain its ailing power infrastructure and the unemployment rate remains abysmal. The “recovery”, in which the country grew 4.9% in 2021, added no new jobs.
In April 2020, the Competition Commission indicated that it expects a surge in mergers & acquisitions after the pandemic has taken its course. This is a global expectation, with analysts suggesting the financial crisis caused by the pandemic will create so-called alpha companies — large, mature and cash-flush companies that are in a strong position to effect acquisitions.
The unlisted midcorporate market segment provides a wealth of opportunity for domestic lenders that are equipped to help entrepreneurs grow their businesses. They could use innovative debt-financing solutions to boost their operations, whether organically or inorganically, through completing acquisitions that are synergistic and earnings accretive, meaning they boost the acquiring company’s earnings per share.
