You have Built Something Real. Let's Build It Bigger
You don't need another pitch competition or a loan you can't afford. You need capital, capability, and a partner who understands your hustle. Isowo provides the 'missing middle' —growth funding and hands-on support to scale your profitable business the right way.
The Challenge You are Facing
The Challenge You are Facing
You have done the hard part. You have built a business that works. You have customers. You are generating revenue. You are profitable, or close to it. You know exactly what you need to grow — a second location, new equipment, more inventory, a stronger team.
The Four Major Problems
Limited Access to Capital
Many SMEs struggle to secure funding due to stringent lending criteria and lack of collateral.
Lack of Business Expertise
SMEs often lack the strategic guidance and professional management needed for sustainable growth.
Market Barriers
Many SMEs face challenges in accessing larger markets due to competition and regulatory hurdles.
Infrastructure Deficiencies
Inadequate infrastructure can hinder the operations and expansion of SMEs, affecting their efficiency and reach.
