A creative approach to unlocking your business' value
Dekka draws its skills from an international network of talented professionals.
THE DEKKA GROUP
Our reputation in the market has been built on our ability to understand and empower entrepreneurs, translating dreams into reality.
We are a group of talented individuals with specific qualifications, expertise, and experience to take a business idea from inception to a fully functional entity with critical mass. This is the same for the disposal or acquisition of an entity where our team will support you with financial and strategic advice from the beginning to completion of the transaction.
We are also an international corporate finance and consultancy boutique with experience in mergers and acquisitions, IPO’s and international listing of companies.
It goes without saying that we have a division that specialises in labour law and all the aspects pertaining to industrial relations as human capital is a critical aspect of the success of any such endeavour.
The Dekka Group has offices in Cape Town, London, and Vancouver. The business was established in 2012 as a business consultancy and a small corporate finance house. Dekka draws its skills from an international network of talented professionals, enabling us to meet every business need our clients may have. As a result, we are known for our innovative and creative approach to unlocking business value.

What our clients say
I have drawn on Lukas's legal and business skills on numerous occasions over the last 20 years. He has a remarkable ability to handle diverse situations in both legal and business arenas. He deals with the congenial and the highly confrontational with almost unnerving calm. His experience and astute insight into business, entrepreneurship and legal matters, coupled with a remarkable ability to communicate with pretty much anybody adds up to the sort of fellow you want on your side of the table. Just watch that sense of humour though.... It is fast and sharp.
