At Biz and Invest, we specialize in bridging the gap between innovative ideas and the right investors. Whether you’re a startup looking for funding or an investor seeking lucrative opportunities, our investor matching services ensure the perfect partnership to drive success.
Here are real-life examples of how we’ve made a difference:
1. Client Success Story: Scaling a Shito Startup with Minimal Capital
Client Success: From Small Batch to Market Leader
The Challenge:
A Ghanaian entrepreneur with a passion for traditional cooking started a shito (Ghanaian spicy condiment) business from their home kitchen with just ₵5,000. Despite having a delicious product, they struggled to secure funding to scale production, meet demand, and improve packaging to compete in the market.
The Solution:
Investor Matchmaking:
We matched the entrepreneur with a local angel investor who had a background in food products and a passion for promoting African culinary heritage. This investor was willing to provide mentorship along with funding.
Business Refinement:
Helped the entrepreneur develop a lean business plan that outlined their vision for scaling production and distribution.
Recommended starting with small, affordable packaging improvements to enhance the product’s shelf appeal without breaking the budget.
Pitch and Partnership:
Worked with the entrepreneur to craft a compelling story, focusing on the uniqueness of the shito recipe, its cultural significance, and growing demand for authentic African food products.
Connected them with a cooperative of local farmers to secure fresh ingredients at lower costs, ensuring consistent quality and sustainability.
Outcome:
Secured a ₵15,000 investment, trippling their working capital.
Used funding to purchase equipment for small-batch production and improve packaging, giving the product a premium look.
Expanded distribution to local grocery stores and online platforms, increasing sales by 300% within six months.
With mentorship from the investor, they secured partnerships with two international African food distributors, introducing their shito to the diaspora market.
2. Client Success Story: Empowering a Ghanaian Gari Maker to Expand Production
Client Success: Transforming a Small Gari Business into a Thriving Enterprise
The Challenge:
A small-scale gari (processed cassava product) producer in Ghana had built a loyal customer base in their local community. With just ₵20,000 (approximately $2,000 USD) in savings, they wanted to expand production to meet growing demand from nearby towns and export markets but lacked the necessary funds for machinery and packaging improvements.
The Solution:
Investor Matchmaking:
We connected the gari maker with a local impact investor focused on supporting agricultural businesses. This investor valued the role of gari in food security and the potential for creating jobs in rural areas.
Business Development Support:
Collaborated with the client to refine their expansion plan, emphasizing the need for semi-automated processing equipment to boost production efficiency.
Designed a cost-effective packaging strategy that retained the authentic appeal of traditional gari while meeting export standards.
Market Access Strategy:
Introduced the client to regional distributors and supermarkets interested in stocking locally produced gari.
Facilitated partnerships with cooperatives to source cassava at discounted rates, ensuring a steady supply of raw materials.
Pitch and Funding Guidance:
Assisted in creating a professional pitch that highlighted the business’s potential to meet local and international demand while creating employment opportunities.
Outcome:
Secured a ₵50,000 (approximately $5,000 USD) investment from the impact investor.
Used the funds to purchase a grating and drying machine, doubling production capacity.
Improved packaging to meet the standards of urban supermarkets and export markets.
Expanded distribution to three major towns and partnered with an export company to sell gari to Ghanaian communities abroad.
Within a year, revenue tripled, and the business employed five additional workers from the local community.
