ABOUT
Structuring capital to bring projects to life — from pit to port
Bayswater Capital Partners is a specialized financial and investment advisory boutique focused on metals & mining and related infrastructure assets across Africa.
We operate across the mine-to-market value chain — from mining and processing to relating power, and transport & logistics infrastructure. We structure and arrange capital for complex, capital-intensive project.
Headquartered in Zurich, with senior advisers in Dubai and Cape Town, we work with project sponsors, developers, operators and contractors active across Africa, as well as international and regional capital providers.
Our capabilities include project finance, structured asset finance, acquisition and growth capital, as well as M&A and private equity investment advisory.
We support our clients from early-stage development through to financial close, transforming projects into bankable, investable assets with a view to delivering tailored financing and investment solutions.
INDUSTRY FOCUS
Metals & mining and related infrastructure are fundamental to global supply chains and economic development
Africa, with its significant resource base and growing industrial ambition, is increasingly emerging as a strategic hub – both as a supplier of critical minerals and as a region advancing its own midstream processing, industrialization, and economic development.
From extraction and beneficiation to power supply, transport, and export logistics, these value chains are highly capital-intensive and interconnected.
Their success depends on aligning mining operations, processing capacity, reliable energy, and transport & logistics infrastructure into integrated, financeable solutions that support both international supply chains and regional value creation.
Metals & Mining
We support the development and financing of metals & mining projects across the lifecycle covering a range of industrial and critical minerals.
We work with sponsors, developers, producers, and mining contractors to structure and arrange capital for greenfield and brownfield projects, as well as for equipment-intensive operations.
Typical assets, including mine development and large-scale plant and fleet procurement, are financed through project finance, structured asset solutions, and other tailored debt and equity structures.
Processing & Benefication
We focus on midstream assets such as processing plants, concentrators, smelters, and refining facilities that enable value addition and support in-country industrial development.
These projects are critical to building integrated and resilient supply chains, particularly as African countries increasingly prioritize local processing of critical minerals.
We support the structuring and financing of standalone and integrated processing assets, often linked to multiple upstream mining operations and downstream industrial demand.
Infrastructure – Power & Transport
We structure and arrange capital for the infrastructure required to develop and operate mining projects, with a focus on reliable power supply solutions including renewable power.
We finance evacuation, transport and logistics infrastructure – road, rail, and ports – critical to moving resources from mine to market, unlocking projects, and optimizing value chains.
We partner with developers, operators, and investors to deliver integrated, scalable infrastructure solutions through tailored, asset-backed financing aligned with long-term operational needs.
SERVICES
We advise across the capital structure – from project development to capital raising and investment execution.
We advise management teams, boards, and investors on complex transactions and strategic decisions across the financing structure.
Our role goes beyond traditional advisory. We act as a trusted partner – structuring transactions, aligning stakeholders, and navigating cross-border investments in Africa’s growth markets.
