WHAT IS SEED CAPITAL INVESTMENT NETWORK
The purpose of Seed Capital Investment is twofold: to help business investors make money, and to give new businesses a better chance of success. We believe the two should go hand-in-hand, to help close the equity funding gap quickly, simply and effectively. The ability to avail funding to young entrepreneurs and business start up in Kenya is the one way of increasing the number of SME with the effect of creating jobs for millions of unemployed and highly skilled workforce.
Lending policies of the banking sectors in Kenya and Africa in general are based on securing borrowed funds through assets which makes it impossible for average people to access funding for their business ideas. Lending institutions are also averse to funding of new startup businesses and this has played a significant role in the low number of new business established each year. The current global economic conditions and political status have also made lending institutions in Kenya to put even more strict measures making it practically impossible for the common man to access funds.
