Pan-African investment platform

The capital exists.
So do the projects.
We make sure
they meet.

IGA structures African investment files to a single standard, verifies what it publishes, takes on the administrative work for project owners and follows through after disbursement. No funds pass through the platform.

What we actually do

Africa's bottleneck is not money: it is the bankable file, trust, and follow-through. Those are the three things we work on.

The IGA Standard

A single file format, in three tiers according to the amount sought, legible from Lomé to Nairobi as much as to an investment committee in Toronto. Published free of charge, including for those who do not come through us.

Verification

Every listing carries a dated box stating exactly what has been checked — and what has not. We label nothing, we certify nothing: we document.

Support

Registration, certificates, sector authorisations, one-stop shops: we carry the administrative burden so the entrepreneur can get on with the job. Including when the business does not yet exist.

Monitoring

Milestones, standardised quarterly reports, reminders, a dashboard and a mediation procedure. Nobody else does this, and it is where the second investment is won or lost.

You invest

Reviewed files, not listings

You want to finance in Africa and you run into the same wall: no way to know whether the company genuinely exists, whether the figures hold up, and what happens after the transfer.

  • A directory filterable by country, sector, amount bracket and stage of maturity
  • The exact scope of the checks performed, dated, on every file
  • A data room per project, opened once the project owner agrees
  • Quarterly monitoring of the projects you have financed, with reminders and mediation

You lead a project

Get on with your work, we carry the paperwork

You have a solid project and you are up against a list of documents you do not hold, in administrations that do not talk to each other. That is exactly what we take off your hands.

  • A six-step submission you can stop and resume without losing anything
  • The rebuilding of your documentary file, piece by piece
  • Your dealings with promotion agencies and one-stop shops
  • You never pay a commission on funds raised — only a flat file fee

Transparency — current quarter

We publish our actual conversion rates

The sector reports “investment interest” and never says how many files actually close. We publish ours every quarter, including when they are poor.

Methodology and history

The first indicators will be published at the end of the first quarter of operation. We do not publish figures before we have any.

What we are not

Saying so plainly is part of the service. A platform that promises your capital is safe is lying to you; we would rather tell you exactly where our work stops.

  • We are neither a bank nor an escrow agent. No funds pass through IGA. You contract with, and pay, the beneficiary directly.
  • We give no investment advice. No personal recommendation, no suitability assessment, no rating or ranking of projects.
  • We do not guarantee the viability of any project. Our checks cover documents and verifiable facts, never projections.
  • We take no commission on funds raised. Our fees are flat and payable whether or not the financing goes through. That is what guarantees we have no interest in pushing a weak file at you.
