GET.invest Finance Readiness Support

CHALLENGE 

Early-stage, locally-owned, and managed renewable energy companies play a vital role in expanding energy access across Africa. However, they often face significant barriers in securing financing to grow their businesses. These challenges include limited access to investors, a lack of financial structuring expertise, and difficulties in demonstrating long‑term commercial viability to potential funders. Without adequate support, many promising companies struggle to scale and maximise their impact.

SOLUTION

The GET.invest Finance Readiness Support addresses these barriers by offering a combination of tailored business development services and investment advisory. The initiative helps companies strengthen their structures, refine their financial models, and improve their fundraising strategies. As a key implementing partner, Advance Consulting provides hands-on business development support and investment readiness services, ensuring that these companies are well-prepared to attract and secure capital.

RESULTS

Advance Consulting is supporting eight renewable energy companies in countries such as Nigeria, Zambia, Malawi, Niger, and Uganda to raise investment for the first time. Our team works closely with these companies to enhance their operational capabilities, develop investable business propositions, and connect them with local and international investors. Through our transaction advisory services, we help businesses navigate the fundraising process and successfully secure the capital they need to grow.

SUSTAINABILITY

By helping companies strengthen their internal capabilities and raise financing for the first time, the facility enables them to build a track record of success. This empowers them to independently attract future investments, ensuring long-term growth and sustainability in the renewable energy sector. Through this initiative, we are fostering a more resilient and investable ecosystem for African‑led renewable energy enterprises.
