Access to Financing: Growth Capital for Established Companies

 

At Niofar Consulting, we understand that securing growth capital is a crucial step for expanding businesses. Our goal is to help established companies access the right financing partners to fuel their growth and success across Africa. We offer financing support in several categories to ensure we match the appropriate partners with your project needs.

​

Our Financing Categories

We provide tailored solutions for financing requests across the following categories:
 

• $500k - $5 million USD

• $5 million - $10 million USD

• $10 million - $25 million USD

• $25 million - $50 million USD

• $50 million+ USD
   

To ensure a proper match, your financing request must fall within one of these categories.

How Our Process Works

​

1. Initial Application
   The first step is to complete our Financing Application. This is mandatory for us to begin our review process. It allows us to assess the eligibility of your project and determine the appropriate financing options. Apply for Financing
    

2. Review & Decision
   Once we receive your application, we will conduct an internal review of your submission. This includes an assessment of your business, your financing needs, and supporting documents. We make a Go/No-Go decision based on your project’s alignment with our financing partners' requirements. If we move forward, we’ll inform you via email.
    

3. MOU & NDA
   If your project is approved, we will request additional details to proceed with drafting a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). This agreement will outline our collaboration and include confidentiality and non-circumvention clauses (NDA) to ensure a secure and trusting environment for sharing sensitive information.
    

4. Pre-Financing Preparation
   We work with you to collect the required documents to make your project "investor-ready" or "bankable" before matching you with a potential financing partner. 
    

5. Introduction to Partners
   Once your submission meets all of the PFQ required documents, and qualifies for an introduction, we will facilitate a presentation of your project to one of our financing partners who is interested in your project type, geographic location, and economic sector. While we cannot guarantee that financing will close, we can tailor your presentation will match the requirements and interests of at least one of our partners.
    

6. Close the Deal

Fees and Costs

​

• No Upfront Fees: We believe in results. If you provide a complete application with all necessary documents, we will review your submission for free.
   

• Additional Support: If your application requires additional assistance (e.g., business plans, market studies, Gantt charts, etc.), we will provide a service quote to help you become investor-ready or bankable. This process can take weeks to months depending on the complexity of your project and how quickly you can respond. Only once you're fully prepared will we introduce you to potential financing partners.
   

• Third-Party Restructuring Fees: If your project is successfully matched with a financing partner, often the partner will require up-front fees after the contract is signed. This accounts for fees to lawyers, notaries, and banking institutions to cover financial and administrative fees associated with securing the funds.
   

• Success Fee: Once funds are received, we charge a success fee or commission based on the financing amount.
  
   

Eligibility Criteria

To ensure we can properly review your financing request, we ask that you provide the following documentation:
 

• A business plan that outlines your company’s growth strategy and financing needs.

• Financial statements and forecasts for the last 2-3 years.

• Proof of profitability and stability.

• Relevant market studies, if applicable.

• Detailed project description and expected outcomes.
   

Only once we have all required documents can we proceed with our internal review and determine the appropriate next steps.
