Developing country finance

We manage and deliver finance services for small to medium sized business and individual entrepreneurs in developing countries. We have been involved with the financing of a wide range of agricultural activities, from large coffee, cocoa and rubber plantations to smallholder vegetable and livestock operations.

Advisory services

Often the only security for the repayment of loans in developing countries is the supervised management of the individual borrower’s business and cash flow. We provide business advisory services to small to medium sized businesses in developing countries to ensure they can meet their repayment commitments.
