Our approach
Between capital and the ground
A bankable need is rarely where a transaction stalls. The distance is the structuring, banking relationships and local execution required to carry it to a funded close. That is the ground Muthi covers.
How we work →Three flagship mandates structured and carried to a signed, funded close, alongside first-tier West African banks.
I founded Muthi on a single conviction: that a more dynamic West African economy is within reach, and that it is built one business at a time. Value created, jobs created, a wider tax base, it all follows when small and medium-sized enterprises can reach the financing they need to grow.
The distance between a sound business and the bank that should back it is rarely about merit; it is structuring, relationships and discipline. That is where our expertise lives. We help companies enter the bank's framework and accelerate the setup of credit that is sound and viable, and we finance high-impact projects, doing the work to make them bankable.
On every mandate we make the task simpler for the banker and the business alike, for financing that is more secure and that respects the codes of banking. Done properly, a financing outlasts the deal that created it. That is the standard we hold, and the reason Muthi exists.

Sizing a facility to the cash cycle
A credit line is only as useful as its fit with how a business turns inventory and receivables into cash. Here is how we read the cycle and work backwards to the facility.

What makes a file bankable
Lenders decline more transactions for how they are presented than for what they contain. A bankable file answers the credit committee's questions before they are asked.
