Access to Finance
Connecting agricultural project leaders with impact capital — to transform the agricultural and food sector.
COLEAD's Access to Finance department works on two complementary fronts: preparing agri-MSMEs to receive investment (capacity building, business model validation, business plan, financial plan), and building partnerships with impact funders to grow the volume of capital flowing into the sector.
Our approach combines training, tailor-made expert support, matchmaking and donor advocacy. Serving agri-MSMEs, impact funds, partner banks and international donors.
