Our Model

Flexible Investment Capital

High-potential SMEs in the “missing middle” often fall between microfinance and commercial bank lending due to size, risk profile, and limited collateral.

We design financing that fits their growth cycle. Loans from $100,000 to $3 million, with grace periods, repayment terms tied to revenue, and local currency options. As repayments come in, we recycle capital into new investments.

Technical Assistance

We partner with business owners before, during, and after investment, strengthening systems upfront and remaining engaged as they scale.

GBF offers tailored support in financial management, strategy, governance, environmental and social practices, and legal/compliance systems.
