From Discovery to Distribution:
How Isowo Turns Businesses Into Investments
Isowo connects you to real, profitable businesses you can see, understand, and invest in. We are not a platform — we are your partner in building Africa's next generation of scalable enterprises.
The Isowo Process
Phase 1
Discovery
We identify and vet high-potential businesses across various sectors, ensuring they meet
What we look for
- Cash-flow positive operations with proven business models
- Clear, understandable unit economics
- Strong founder commitment and operational capacity
- Real growth potential—not just dreams, but tangible pathways to scale
- Businesses that strengthen communities and create local value
What we assess

- Legal compliance and risk factors
- Growth strategy and scalability potential
Phase 2
Structuring & Syndication
Once we've identified a vetted opportunity, we structure it for accessibility.
Example: An Agri-processing company needs ₦100 million to expand to a second location. Instead of requiring one investor to provide the full amount, we break it into 10 investment slots of ₦10 million each.
This approach allows
- Retail investors to participate in opportunities traditionally reserved for institutional players
- Risk diversification across multiple investors
- Lower barriers to entry while maintaining professional standards
- Community ownership of local economic assets
