Capital · Venture building · East Africa
Capital and business development services under one roof. We finance small and medium-sized companies, and we put our own people on the finance, the systems and the route to market.
What we do
01 · Investment
Debt and equity for companies that already sell to paying customers. We size the facility to the business in front of us. Where a second investor makes the deal stronger, we co-invest.
02 · Venture building
Four services, delivered by our own people, for an agreed fee. No free advice, and no hidden agenda. We are measured on what the work delivers.
Most of our companies take both. The service-backed loan came out of that: one agreement that carries the finance and the missing skills together.
$1.3M facility
AMFRI had the organic certification and the export orders. It had no processing plant near the Entebbe cargo hub, so it lost margin on every shipment. We invested with Yield Fund Uganda and paid for the plant.
COVID-19 stopped the build and cut the egg price. A service-backed loan carried the finance and the management fix in one agreement.
One volatile crop carried all the price risk. We funded 100 new acres, two reservoirs and solar pumps, and rebuilt the crop mix on evidence.
Every company we finance, and what the money bought.
