# Investment criteria

Local entrepreneurs and SMEs make a crucial contribution to local employment. To maximize their contribution to the progress of the regional economy, they need growth capital and support in strategy, planning, governance and reporting.

**We invest our capital, time, experience, knowledge, skills and network in:**

- Companies that are active in Africa and have a solid continuity perspective.
- Companies that have passed the 'start-up' phase.
- Companies that contribute to the growth of an inclusive economy.

**The requirements we set are:**

- Companies are active across the manufacturing, agri-processing, and technology sectors.
- The minimum turnover is € 300,000
- The company is at least cost-effective at the time of the investment
- The investment is equity-based with a minimum stake of 20%
- The investment per participation ranges from a minimum of € 500,000 to a maximum of € 1 million
- The company has a positive, measurable and scalable impact on people and/or the region

**What we don't:**

- Companies in a distressed phase
- Highly capital-intensive companies (e.g. infrastructure, real estate)
- Companies with indirect impact (e.g. incubators, consultants)
- Businesses that are largely dependent on government revenues
