GroFin

GroFin is a pioneering development financier specialising in financing and supporting small and growing businesses (SGBs) across Africa and the Middle East. We combine patient capital and specialised business support to grow emerging market enterprises. By generating employment, strengthening value chains and building markets, our investments bring about inclusive growth and improved living conditions in low and middle income countries. We were formally established in 2004 but grew out of the RAPS group of companies that have been investing in SMEs since 1999. We manage ten funds and programs on behalf of more than 30 international development finance institutions, development organisations, foundations, large companies and private funders with committed funding of more than US$500 million. We have 14 offices in 13 countries across Africa and the Middle East, employing more than 130 employees.
