Private Investment Companies

Too big for one entrepreneur. Too small for the big funds. Right-sized for a group of committed Sierra Leoneans.

A grain warehouse with drying facilities, a haulage fleet, a small processing plant, an urban property development, a fishing concession. Projects like these often need the Leone equivalent of US$1.0 million to US$2.5 million. A Private Investment Company brings together people who hold savings, land, expertise and relationships around one specific, pre-screened project, under clear rules, so they can invest alongside foreign partners on their own terms.
