What We Do

We advise agricultural small and medium enterprises. The work falls into three areas, and most engagements draw on more than one.

Access to Finance

For many agri-SMEs, the hardest gap to close is capital. The problem is rarely that the business has no case; it is that the case has never been put in a form a financier can act on.

What the work includes

Investment readiness assessment: an honest review of where the business stands against what lenders and investors will ask.
Financial foundations: records, statements, and management accounts that hold up under due diligence.
Business plans and financial models built on assumptions the client understands and can defend.
Financing options mapped to the business: bank credit, microfinance, impact investment, or blended structures, with the documentation each one requires.
Preparation for the conversations themselves: anticipating financiers' questions and supporting the negotiation of workable terms.

Market Access

A good product does not sell itself, especially across borders. We help agri-SMEs turn production into commerce.

What the work includes

Market research: who buys, at what price, under what conditions, in which markets.
Commercial review: product, packaging, pricing, and positioning measured against what buyers actually require.
Standards and certification: identifying what formal and cross-border buyers demand and planning the path to compliance.
Regional trade preparation: documentation, logistics considerations, and the practical steps of selling into a new market.
Broadening the customer base so the business does not depend on a single buyer.

Policy Engagement

Policy shapes what an agri-SME can do long before finance or markets come into play, and most of these businesses have no seat at the table where it is written. We work to change that.

What the work includes

Regulatory monitoring: tracking the rules that affect agri-SMEs and explaining, in plain terms, what they mean for a specific business.
Evidence and positions: preparing data, briefs, and position papers so that agri-SME perspectives enter sector discussions.
Dialogue: supporting clients in exchanges with public institutions, sector bodies, and public-private platforms.
Compliance planning: treating regulation as something to prepare for, not react to.

Not sure which of these fits your situation? That is exactly what the diagnostic is for.
