Start-ups, investors, business development service providers and other stakeholders from Sierra Leone’s entrepreneurial ecosystem attended an investment-focused workshop in Freetown to launch a new toolkit designed to accelerate the development of investment-ready businesses in Sierra Leone.
The Investment Toolkit for SMEs in Sierra Leone was produced by the international impact investor Acumen for Invest Salone. The toolkit is tailored to the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Sierra Leone and is based on insights from a series of investment-readiness bootcamps led by Acumen in 2021 and 2022, which indicated that firms in Sierra Leone require substantial pre-investment support to become viable impact investment prospects.
