finance + expertise = succes

“The funds that GroFin provided freed us from being limited by financial constraints and enabled us to concentrate on sales and expansion. We are in the process of implementing phase two of our original business plan, which is to set up our own national distribution network, controlled and owned by IES. Our product range has increased significantly and we can now offer clients a one-stop solution.”

Pierre Fourie, IES Electrical, South Africa

“GroFin assisted beyond the mere provision of finance, and proved to be a genuine partner in all aspects of the business.”

Kingori Wathobio, InDepth Engineering, Kenya

“GroFin took an interest in me right away and told me how they could help me become a better businessman. They came out to my offices to understand my business and my needs, and offered me perfect solutions to help me achieve my goals.”

Charles Gituka, Lima Feeds, Kenya

“GroFin’s services not only catered to my finance needs but also instituted a culture of continuous improvement with respect to my business. I was further impressed by the dedicated staff that was always ready to give me a helping hand. GroFin is a true partner in every sense of the word.”

Ewald Cuwa, Ogopa Trading, Tanzania

“I took my business plan to GroFin and they asked a lot of questions and went over every bit in great detail. I thought I knew everything there was to know about my business, but really, they re-educated me and helped me get the accounting and the business plan just right. I did some more research and came back with a much better proposal. GroFin taught me so much, I knew I couldn’t fail.”

Tom Kigonya Kaaya, Nana Hostel, Uganda

“My experience with GroFin has been so educational. Often we business owners get so burdened with everyday operational issues that we omit to look at strategic ways to steer it in the direction of increased profitability and growth. By working with GroFin, my operations, strategy and finances have been given a new breath of life.”

Ahmed Jimoh, Newstar, Nigeria

“In all my experience as a small businessman operating retail outlets in townships, this was the very first time accessing finance was made so easy and accessible. From the start, GroFin was committed to working with me as a potential client, developing a business plan to achieve profitability and success. It was unusual to experience a funding institution working with a potential client as partners.”

Kingsley Tloubatla, Total Midway, South Africa

“My relationship with GroFin is that of a partner willing to learn about my trade, with full support to enhance and expand its scope and compliance to all legislation, for the benefit of those we serve. Their support has assisted in mitigating sanctions from regulatory agencies on environmental matters which would have resulted in financial loss and closure. What a great relationship!”

Dr. Olumuyiwa Samuel Ore, Citizen Medical Centre, Nigeria

“The dreams, plans and visions of big businesses don’t always actualise and this frustrates the entrepreneur. This was my situation before GroFin changed my outlook and came to my business’s aid through their flexible finance facilities. Hope and dreams are re¬newed through their monitoring skills and constant eagerness to ensure my business continues to grow.”

Michael Ale, MALE Integrated, Nigeria

“To add even further to our association together, GroFin themselves have given me the added confidence to go out into the market and carry out business as I know best. I referred different scenarios to my portfolio manager for advice, who assisted me in choosing avenues that not only made my life easier, but simultaneously grew my business.”

Thompson, Ilips, South Africa
