Your business organization may be about to undertake a project that requires a relatively large amount of money. A capital project will often require long-term financing based upon the projected cash revenues of the project rather than the sponsor’s balance sheet. Together with the other stakeholders, you have to determine the most suitable financing option that will ensure you complete the project schedule. This is where we come into the landscape.
The U.S.-Africa Trade Commission provides project financing and investment facilitation services whilst branding, promoting, and marketing investment opportunities across the U.S.-Africa trade axis. Project Financing enables businesses to acquire financing for large-scale projects that require large amounts of capital, such as infrastructure, telecommunications, power, water, housing, airports, hotels, high-tech, financial services, and natural resource extraction industries. We are delighted to be in the position to help both existing and new project owners and entrepreneurs with financial intermediation, advisory, brokerage consulting, management, project and trade finance. Investment facilitation at The U.S.-Africa Trade Commission is designed to maximize the effectiveness and efficiency through all stages of the investment cycle.
We work as Fund Arrangers for businesses or companies that want to raise capital. We can also raise offshore funding through our overseas financiers for long term capital at reasonable rates. We can arrange loans or credit facilities for industries that are into processing, production, agribusiness, fintech, infrastructure, renewable energy and manufacturing companies.

- Private Debt
- Bank Debt
- Capital Markets/Taxable Bonds
- Institutional Investors/Private Placement
- Capital Markets/Private Activity Bonds
- Equity Financing
