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

The team expanded in 2010 when Josh Loots, previously with Tiger Wheels Limited, joined DG Capital. Josh’s arrival marked a significant turning point; he was soon appointed CEO and played a crucial role in transforming DG Capital from a specialized 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 personalized service rooted in quality, expertise, reliability, and integrity.
