Mukana Growth Details
Mukana Growth is a multi-product financing and trading platform. We are dedicated to empowering SMEs, resolving trade dislocations, and funding long-term growth in valuable markets. Mukana typically operates in niche environments, with partners that cannot obtain capital through traditional channels. We rely on an entirely unique operating model and are highly effective at deploying our resources.SME, BEE, and women-owned enterprises will typically not have access to mainstream capital. Even if these types of firms are banked, large financial institutions often do not have the appetite to take on risky credits. These same firms, however, may have experience providing a specific good or service, may have won a government tender, or may be sitting on a purchase order from a large corporation. Unfortunately, without financing, they will be unable to fulfill the order at hand.Mukana has the risk appetite, capital, and experience to look at transactions such as these.By using a range of innovative financial instruments, we provide new mechanisms for financing growth businesses. For example, Mukana can structure profit-sharing agreements on short-term transactions, put together production-specific investments, or execute trades as principal. None of these involve predatory micro-loans. On a case-by-case basis, we consider deeper relationships with small firms, including venture capital equity investments. Thanks to a cutting-edge platform, Mukana helps to fund enterprises, expand employment, and grow the South African economy.Flexibility & Financial InstrumentsMukana makes use of an innovative set of financial instruments to execute transactions.
