Founded in 2003, DG Capital began as a niche financial advisory firm, catering to both privately owned and listed businesses. The expertise lay in mergers and acquisitions, financial modelling, valuations, and raising equity and debt capital.

The appointment of our current CEO in 2010 was a pivotal moment, driving DG Capital’s transformation from a specialised advisory firm into a diversified financial services group.

Years of service

DG Capital's growth has been fuelled by both organic development and strategic acquisitions. Over the years, the company leveraged a robust balance sheet to expand its market presence, acquiring businesses in incentives, forex, freight forwarding, logistics, and trading.

In 2016, Thesele Group acquired a minority stake in DG Capital bringing in expertise, and strategic vision, further solidifying DG Capital’s position in the market.

With offices in Port Elizabeth, Durban, Cape Town, Liverpool (UK) and Sydney, the DG Group is well positioned to service its client base across South Africa and internationally.

Still owned and managed by its original founders, along with management and minority stakeholders, DG Capital remains committed to building long-term client relationships, delivering personalised service rooted in quality, expertise, reliability, and integrity.
