Our partners are visionaries with objectives and dreams.  With that, Zura recognizes the need to provide support in achieving these aspirations. Rather than simply offering solutions, we observed that a substantial part of our time is dedicated to guiding and collaborating with our clients on their path to success, leading to the establishment of our advisory service line. 

Clients become partners in this sense.  

We also take pride in our extensive network of top-level experts whom we vouch for and can call upon at a moment's notice. They are readily available to pick up the call, offering our clients another level of support and insight that they deserve on their way to fulfilling goals and initiatives that matter to our world at large.

Founded in 2013, Zura initially operated as a consultancy service catering to Fortune-100 companies navigating challenging environments. In 2016, we underwent a transformative shift, transitioning from advisors to hands-on doers. Since then, we've built a notable track record of successful accomplishments. Now, we are thrilled to leverage our wealth of experience and extensive network to once again serve our clients in an advisory capacity.

The rationale for fee-based advisory services is grounded in 5 key factors:

• Complexity of Services:  Zura's advisory services specialize in the intricate sectors of logistics, stability, and natural resource projects. Many involve complex transactions featuring highly structured models, intricate financial instruments, and capital raising, often in challenging markets. The fee structure is a testament to the nuanced and multifaceted nature of these specialized services.

• Conflicts of Interest:  Commission-based models often create conflicts of interest as stakeholders may be inclined to favor easier deals that yield quicker or higher commissions.  Potentially at the expense of the client's best interests. In contrast, fee-based models mitigate such conflicts by compensating for time and expertise, independent of the specific outcomes of transactions.

• Expertise and Advice:  Zura's comprehensive advisory services encompass diverse expertise, including market analysis, valuation, risk assessment, legal implications, and strategic planning. Our professionals offer ongoing advice and guidance, extending beyond transactional support.

• Time and Resources:  Zura's advisors invest substantial time and resources in understanding clients' businesses, conducting thorough due diligence, and delivering tailored recommendations. This commitment surpasses the scope of a one-time transaction.

• Holistic Approach:  Zura's fee-based models incentivize a holistic approach. Advisors consider clients' broader financial picture, aligning strategies with long-term goals rather than focusing solely on immediate transactions.

You can expect that any solution Zura provides has the highest level expertise built in.  But clients often realize that Zura can provide guidance and insight outside the current scope of work.  

In this case, all you need to do is ask your Relationship Manager what you are looking for.
