For many early-stage businesses, raising capital feels like chasing your own tail. You know what investors want in your data rooms, including clear ESG strategies, credible impact plans, and documented policies that demonstrate your commitment. But getting all of that in place takes time, money, and technical know-how that small teams often don’t have.

​

At Nia, we understand this tension deeply. We’ve worked with dozens of SMEs across Africa who are doing transformative work but struggling to formalise their operations in a way that speaks to investors. That’s why we created a specialised SME support offering that’s affordable, practical, and built with your reality in mind.

​

For as little as $1,000 USD, we provide one-on-one support to help you put together the ESG and impact foundations you need—strategies, policies, internal processes, and guidance on how to present your value to funders. This is not a generic template or a passive checklist. It’s tailored, thoughtful support that helps position your business for long-term investment.

​

We also know that some businesses may need flexibility, so we offer blended pricing models that allow us to invest in your growth while keeping costs manageable. We do this because we believe more SMEs should have access to high-quality tools—not just those with large donor grants or venture backing.​​​​​​​​​
