1
Private Equity Investment
MNP Capital deploys direct private capital into high-potential early and growth-stage businesses led by young Ghanaian and African entrepreneurs.
2
Quasi-Equity/ Mezzanine Finance
For businesses that are operationally profitable but need growth capital without giving up significant equity, MNP Capital offers mezzanine (quasi-equity) financing, a hybrid debt-equity instrument that bridges the gap between traditional bank lending and full equity investment.
Mezzanine finance is ideal for businesses that have proven their model, generate consistent revenues, and are ready for the next phase of growth, but are not yet ready for a full equity raise.
How It Works
- MNP provides subordinated debt with equity conversion features (warrants or options).
- Repayment is structured around the business's cash flow cycle.
- In exchange for flexible terms, MNP typically holds a minority equity stake or conversion right.
- The founder retains day-to-day operational control.
