Our investment offerings
Supporting African enterprises' contracts and credit access contributes to job creation, skills development, and economic empowerment. These funds empower local businesses and employment, fostering entrepreneurship and boosting their capacity to undertake larger projects.
GRZ Employee Financing
This offering targets Zambia's US$500 million credit gap, where most adults, especially in rural areas, lack loan access. By providing salary-backed loans to government employees (GRZ clients), it taps into a secure market with a default rate below 1%, due to stable government employment. This lucrative opportunity allows investors to drive financial inclusion in Zambia through a highly secure, impact-driven lending portfolio.
