GHS 50K - GHS 5M per SME (approximately $4K - $400K); varies by fund manager. Example: GHS 4.5M deployed to a single manufacturing company.
Government-backed fund of funds that deploys capital into licensed Venture Capital Finance Companies (VCFCs) which in turn invest directly in Ghanaian SMEs through equity and debt instruments. Established under VCTF Act 680 to catalyze a vibrant venture capital industry in Ghana.
Growth Capital
Equity and debt financing ranging from GHS 50K to GHS 5M through licensed fund managers
Patient Capital
Long-term, risk-tolerant financing that conventional lenders typically do not provide

Business development support and reporting assistance through fund managers

24-Hour Economy SME Financing
Dedicated financing vehicle for SMEs intending to operate around-the-clock under Ghana's 24-Hour Economy initiative, with access to long-term risk-tolerant capital and sector integration (e.g., solar energy for reliable power).
Agribusiness & Manufacturing
Growth capital for Ghanaian SMEs in agriculture, food processing, and manufacturing sectors.
Technology & Services
Equity and debt financing for technology-enabled and services-focused Ghanaian businesses.
Ghanaian SMEs with strong growth potential across agriculture, manufacturing, technology, and services. VCTF seeks businesses that can demonstrate viable business models and job creation capacity. Under the new 24-Hour Economy initiative, particular interest in businesses that intend to operate continuous shifts and can benefit from long-term, risk-tolerant financing.
Reporting support, capacity building, and peer learning network through fund managers. Portfolio companies may access cross-sector integration opportunities under the 24-Hour Economy initiative.
VCTF is a fund-of-funds; it does not invest directly in SMEs. Applicants must go through licensed VCFCs.; Confirm which fund managers are currently accepting applications.
Identify and approach the specific VCTF-backed fund manager most relevant to your sector. The fund-of-funds model means your relationship is with the fund manager, not VCTF directly. The 24-Hour Economy partnership may open new funding windows in 2026.
