Rykolo Advisory exists because too many owners sell, buy or raise capital without an advisor who treats their transaction as their own.
Rykolo Advisory was founded on a simple observation: business owners preparing for the most consequential financial event of their lives were too often handed off to junior teams, run through generic processes, or advised by firms whose incentives did not line up with their own.
We built Rykolo Advisory as a deliberately boutique firm — one that takes on a limited number of mandates at any time, so that every client receives direct, senior-level attention from the first conversation through closing. We work with SMEs, corporate businesses, private companies, investors, founders and family businesses who are ready for a transaction that matters.
Rykolo Advisory — Lagos, Nigeria
To give business owners and investors the same caliber of advice, process and access that only the largest companies have historically enjoyed — delivered with the attention a boutique firm can offer.
A market where every owner-led business can transact — sell, buy, raise or restructure — with full confidence in the process and the outcome.
Because a defining transaction deserves an advisor who is personally accountable for the result, not a name on a pitch book handed to a junior team.
Discretion is not a courtesy — it is the foundation of how we operate on every engagement.
We are not tied to lenders, referral partners or product sales. Our recommendations serve you alone.
The advisor you meet in the first call leads your mandate through to closing.
Every recommendation is measured against one question: does this protect or grow your value?
Our best measure of success is a client who returns for their next transaction, or refers the next owner.
Institutional-grade process, applied with real understanding of local markets and regulation.
