About us
Shange & Co ApS is a family-owned consulting and project development company working across sectors with the screening and maturation of business cases. We focus on supporting sustainable ideas and businesses so they become ready for dialogue with banks, investors, and strategic partners — combining economic growth with social and environmental impact. We collaborate with both public and private stakeholders and draw on an international network of experts within finance, strategy, law, and technology. Through a structured screening process and practical sparring, we help companies strengthen their documentation and governance so they can pursue financing and partnerships on a solid foundation.
Our Heritage
Shange & Co is rooted in a royal legacy that stretches back to 200 years, as direct descendants of the Zulu Royal House in South Africa.
Our late father, H.R.H. Prince V.A. Shange, was formally mandated by H.M. King Goodwill Zwelithini in 1998 to represent and develop projects aimed at education, economic empowerment, and community building within the Zulu nation.
This royal heritage provides us with a unique foundation of trust, legitimacy, and international connections – a foundation we continue to build upon today.
Our mission
We exist to open doors for projects and communities with potential – by sharing our experience, network and advisory capabilities across Africa and Europe.
Our mission is to help entrepreneurs and organisations structure their ideas, build strong business cases and navigate towards the partnerships and financing they need to thrive. We focus on preparation and capacity‑building so that businesses are better equipped to engage with banks, investors and strategic partners on their own terms.
