Amano Capital is Zambia's driving catalyst in creating an efficient platform for foreign & domestic investment to find fast-pace disruptive start-ups & scalable medium scale companies in the SME sector.
As a management team with extensive credentials in finance, innovation and entrepreneurship in Africa, we understand the clear potential in Zambia's SME market. We also understand that associated with this potential comes an array of risks exposures. We provide a service that nurtures a company's business and management processes, and we measure and monitor key performance indicators before bringing them to market. In this way, we can dissolve the fundamental risk barriers to market participation and growth and enhance access to finance and investment opportunities.

Our Vision
Zambia's inward Foreign Direct Investment averages USD600m annually. Despite this, 85% of FDI goes into large scale investments and developments. Additionally, only 11% of private equity investments globally, go into frontier and emerging market investments. At Amano Capital, our vision is to increase investors' confidence & participation in the SME market.
Our team seek actively to dissolve the fundamental risks revolving around Zambia's highly attractive start-ups and medium scale businesses to increase the investment participation rates in this highly attractive sector. This increase in participation will have an immediate positive effect on the Zambian economy and its neighbouring SADC countries.
Our Focus
At Amano Capital our philosophy derives from impact investing and we recognise that the current SME environment in Zambia is in a strong position for stable and consistent development. This environment is a reflection of our targeting process, where we focus on finding companies that are in a strong position for growth not only internally but externally. We seek out companies that have the potential to become the driving force in their specific sector, acting as a catalyst in long-term value creation, job creation, gender equality and dissolving absolute poverty in Zambia.
Our objective is to become positive market makers in a highly energised market.
