The Situation
A rapidly growing industrial and infrastructure development company sought long-term capital to finance major expansion initiatives across Uganda. Funding was required to support infrastructure development, operational growth, and strategic investments while refinancing portions of existing obligations through an efficient international investment structure.
Due to the scale of the planned developments, management required an institutional investment partner capable of delivering flexible funding, strong governance, and long-term strategic support.
Due Diligence & Structuring
Following comprehensive financial, legal, and operational due diligence, the investment was structured through a Mauritius-based holding company to facilitate efficient cross-border funding and strengthen investor protections. The facility combined long-term debt with equity participation, allowing capital deployment to match the company's phased infrastructure development programme.
Funding was released progressively against agreed project milestones, ensuring disciplined capital allocation while maintaining sufficient liquidity for ongoing operations and future expansion opportunities.
