At Samakose, we connect agribusinesses with the financing they need to grow. Our business plans are built from Ghana-specific market data, realistic financial modelling, and deep knowledge of what commercial banks, DFIs, government agencies, rural banks, and grant bodies look for during due diligence.

From a smallholder cooperative seeking a MASLOC grant to a large-scale commercial plantation pursuing AfDB investment, we tailor every plan to speak the language of your target funder.
