An underfunded market
The economic fabric of West Africa rests on its small and medium-sized enterprises. They are the ones that create jobs, structure local value chains and drive the growth of the WAEMU economies.
Yet, while these companies account for more than 80% of the economy, they capture only around 20% of banking services and credit. This gap is both a barrier and an opportunity: well-supported equity funding unlocks sustainable, value-creating growth.
An SME ready to scale up does not lack potential: it lacks a long-term financial partner able to strengthen its equity and structure its growth.
A selective approach
Beyond financial indicators alone, we look for the fundamentals that distinguish a company ready to reach the next level.
Companies based in the WAEMU zone, with a strong knowledge of their regional market.
A proven business model and a clear, credible development trajectory.
Committed managers, open to structuring and professionalising management.
A commitment to transparency and solid, lasting governance practices.
Positioned in markets driven by demographics and the expanding middle class.
Labour-intensive activities with a direct impact on local employment.
Beyond capital
Our support goes beyond simply providing capital: it secures growth and prepares the structuring stages.

Long-term equity and quasi-equity financing to give the company the means to grow.
02
Technical and strategic support to professionalise management and secure the trajectory.
03
Preparing external growth, financial structuring or business succession.
