Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) hold the key to economic development, especially in our evolving African economies. However, these businesses face a lot of challenges in their business operations and are, therefore, not able to play meaningful roles in driving economic development. There is a long held view that access to finance is the major challenge confronting these businesses. However, we at GoldEdge hold the view that access to finance is in itself not the problem but rather is merely symptomatic of fundamental issues that make SMEs unattractive to financiers. Do you agree with us?

With our exceptionally integrated platform, we provide best-in-class solutions that deliver value to our clients by helping to enhance efficiency in their operations and to better manage risks in their businesses and markets

Although SMBs comprise about 90% of all businesses in Africa and employ about 70% of the continent’s active workforce, their size and operating dynamics expose them to many challenges, primarily in accessing finance for growth and value creation. Accordingly, SMBs contribute less than 30% of economic output in Africa. Contributory factors to SMBs’ unattractiveness include:

a. lack of robust corporate governance framework
b. inadequate or virtually non-existent internal control environment to ensure transparent, quality and credible financial reporting
c. secretive nature of SMB managers
d. SMB owners’ inability to separate ownership and control from management
e. unfamiliarity with or unwillingness to engage in growth-oriented strategic partnerships/joint ventures
f. mostly inadequately qualified staff to deliver value

GoldEdge provides pivotal corporate advisory support aimed at addressing the above factors to enable SMBs drive Africa’s development agenda.

With resolute commitment to strong corporate values of Diligence, Innovation, Leadership, Integrity and Collaboration, GoldEdge aspires to revolutionize financial practice in scalable SMBs in Africa.

Our mission is “to be the market leader in providing cutting edge financial solutions tailored to scalable small and mid-cap African businesses and their investors, while advancing the welfare of our employees, providing superior returns to our investors and acting with the highest standards of integrity and ethics”
