Access to capital has long been a challenge for Ghanaian SMEs, with access to equity capital being even more constrained than access to debt. Injaro was established to close this financing gap and unleash the potential of Ghana’s entrepreneurs to drive economic growth. Injaro’s private equity team currently manages a fund that has been investing in Ghana since
2011. Investors in this fund include international organisations such as the CDC Group, FMO, Proparco and the Soros Economic Development Fund. To date, the Injaro team has deployed around US$13m of equity investments to support
Ghanaian SMEs to achieve their business growth objectives. The Injaro team aims to continue investing alongside Ghanaian entrepreneurs in well-managed businesses with realistic but ambitious growth objectives.
The most common question we hear from business owners is “What are your interest rates?” Our response is “We have no interest rates” because we invest equity to become a co-owner in your business, sharing in the profits and the losses, which we believe you also aim to avoid. This is the foundation of the investment relationship. We remain an investor for a limited
period of time, usually between four and seven years, during which we work with management to create value in the business, recoup our investment and generate a financial return for our investors. At a minimum, we expect the following
from any business seeking capital from us:
i) the company must have a competent management team or be willing to build one;
(ii) the company must be able to prove its performance and track record through its historical accounts, audited by reputable accounting firm;
(iii) must be a registered limited liability company in good standing with the tax
authorities;
(iv) company must be willing to have an active equity investor that will be represented on
the board of the company; and
(v) investment needs must range between US$1m and $10m and must be earmarked for a clearly defined set of business objectives.
