Most small businesses financed by Rhino Capital are subjected to some of the most rigorous qualifying criterias, designed for SMEs. This has created better working relationship with partners to ensure that financed operations are successful.

Many small or mid-sized businesses in Africa can rise to compete on the global stage, but the case is different as there are no institutions likened to “Silicon Valley” in U.S.A and what is currently available, appears to be traditional business loan offerings that are not easily eligible for SMEs.

At Rhino Capital, we believe that prolific businesses in the category of SMEs, when pre-qualified, should have ready access to working capital, just like big corporations do. This is why we prefer to work with funders/investors that are patient and understands working with small and mid-sized businesses in these peculiar climes.

Apart from providing business funds, we also provide various support services, not limited to business incubation, to ensure that small businesses attain their optimal potentials.
