Transaction advisory
Your long-term partner, not a transaction-first advisor.
We make your processes sound, then go to the transaction with you.
We’ve built solutions at some of the world’s largest companies
Principles
- 1
Relationship before transaction
We don’t start with the transaction. We get to know the business and its processes first.
- 2
Less dependence on outside advisors
Move from advisor dependence to repeatable processes of your own. It’s why CapeZero was founded.
- 3
Ready for transactions earlier
Get ready for a transaction earlier, and raise capital across the capital structure.
- 4
Flex resources, built on the platform
Flex analyst support, shadow modeling and redundancy. It all runs on CapeZero, so the work stays with you.
- 5
Aligned for the long term
Like a personal financial advisor, we’re here for every stage, and we bring in other advisors when we’re not the fit.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What types of transactions do you help with?
We support a wide range of clean energy transactions across the project lifecycle, including project sales and acquisitions, debt and tax equity financing, tax credit transfers, and commercial contracting. Our work typically focuses on transactions where clear project economics, capital structuring, and investor-ready analysis are critical to moving forward with confidence.
Do you help with raising capital?
CapeZero supports the capital-raising process by helping teams prepare investor-ready analysis, evaluate financing and sale structures, and respond efficiently to diligence questions. Our platform and services help teams move faster and more confidently from analysis to executed transactions.
Is there a minimum deal size you require?
We don’t apply a strict minimum deal size. Instead, we focus on whether CapeZero can meaningfully improve decision-making, efficiency, or risk management for the opportunity. That said, our services are typically most valuable for projects and portfolios where capital structure, timing, and execution risk materially impact outcomes.
