Emerald Africa Financing Facility

The Emerald Africa financing facility provides debt to early-stage digital innovators, based in sub-Saharan Africa, who are enabling greater access to finance for rural SMEs.

It is an exciting time for business and innovation in Africa, but currently there are insufficient debt products to meet this growing demand, particular for new and emerging business models that are powered by technology. The Emerald Africa Financing Facility aims to provide funding for loan books for early-stage companies by using a simple debt product, enabling founders to keep their precious equity. The funding is responsive to entrepreneurial needs.
