OMINI: The first buy-side M&A boutique helping Angolan investors acquire companies in Portugal.

OMINI: The first buy-side M&A boutique helping Angolan investors acquire companies in Portugal.

Angolan investment in Portugal has surpassed Portuguese investment in Angola and, according to official data, is valued at over €4 billion. By the end of 2025, the stock of Angolan direct investment in Portugal reached €4,525.7 million—a 152% increase compared to 2021—while investment in the opposite direction stood at €2,410.4 million.

Positioning itself as the first M&A boutique focused entirely on the buy-side, OMINI’s primary objective is to assist Angolan entrepreneurs and investors in acquiring companies in Portugal. Its positioning is unequivocal: 100% of its mandates are on the buyer's side.

It manages the entire acquisition process: from the identification and selection of companies, the drafting and presentation of non-binding proposals, technical site visits, and meeting coordination to transition planning, due diligence, and deal closure. The goal is to mitigate risk, ensure strategic alignment, and maximize the likelihood of post-acquisition success.

To achieve this, the firm leverages a network of partners in Portugal—including external consultants and firms specializing in M&A and legal advisory—granting access to high-quality companies with strong management and commercial performance. This network, combined with deep insight into the Angolan and Portuguese business landscapes, creates a distinct competitive advantage for investors seeking to operate with confidence and discretion...
