What you get

What we do for you.

AML/KYC

Anti-money-laundering and know-your-customer policies and procedures that fit how your business actually works.

Data protection

A practical review of how you collect, store and share personal data, with the policies to match.

ESG to IFC Performance Standards

An assessment against the IFC Performance Standards that many international lenders use, with a clear plan to close the gaps.

CSR programme design

A community programme with clear goals, a budget and a way to report on it.

In practice

What it looks like day to day.

Illustrations of typical work, not client stories.

For example

A microfinance company and a foreign partner

A microfinance company in Accra is talking to an international partner that asks for its AML/KYC procedures. We review what exists and write what is missing.

For example

An agro-processor seeking development finance

A shea processor in the Northern Region applies to a development lender. An ESG review against the IFC Performance Standards shows what to fix before the lender's own checks.

For example

A mining services firm and its host community

A contractor near Tarkwa wants to support the local community properly. We design a CSR programme with the community's priorities, a budget and simple reporting.

Questions

Good to know.

Will this guarantee our loan or partnership is approved?

No. It prepares you for the checks that partners and lenders run. Their decision remains theirs.

What are the IFC Performance Standards?

They are environmental and social standards set by the International Finance Corporation and used by many international lenders to assess projects.

How do we pay?

You get a fixed fee in Ghana cedis before work starts, paid by mobile money. VAT is added where it applies.
