Our Services
At The Chikosi Group, we offer three core services that together, allow us to provide comprehensive support to businesses and investors seeking to unlock the vast potential of Sub-Saharan Africa and contribute to the region's sustainable growth and development.
Joint Ventures
Our Joint Ventures involve partnering with established companies or entrepreneurs to jointly develop new business opportunities. We leverage our local market knowledge, industry expertise, and extensive network to identify potential collaborations that align with our partners' strategic objectives. In a joint venture, we actively contribute our resources, skills, and expertise to support the growth and success of the new venture. This approach can help both parties mitigate risks, access new markets or customers, and pool resources to achieve shared goals.
Private Market Investments
Within our Private Market Investments, we focus on three types of investments: private equity, venture capital, and fund of fund investments.
Private Equity: We invest in established businesses with a proven track record, providing growth capital or buyout financing.
Venture Capital: We invest in early-stage, high-growth companies with innovative products or services, providing them with the capital and resources needed to scale their operations.
Fund of Fund Investments: We invest in other private equity and venture capital funds, providing our partners with access to a diverse range of investment opportunities and enabling us to leverage the expertise of other investment managers.
Fundraising Facilitation
Our Fundraising Facilitation focuses on helping businesses and entrepreneurs raise the capital they need to achieve their growth objectives. We work closely with our clients to understand their funding requirements, develop a tailored fundraising strategy, and identify suitable investors from our extensive network. Our services include preparing pitch materials, providing guidance on deal structuring and negotiations, and offering ongoing support throughout the fundraising process. By leveraging our expertise in the region, industry knowledge, and strong relationships with investors, we aim to help our clients secure the necessary capital to fuel their growth and create lasting impact.
