The Investment Factory

From origination to exit,
an integrated chain serving the real economy.

MBM Capital operates three complementary business lines built around a single conviction: structuring capital so that it durably reaches Guinea's productive fabric.

Our method

Five stages, one standard.

Every transaction follows a structured value chain, designed to align the rigor of international standards with the operational reality of Guinean companies.

From identifying a project to exiting an investment, every stage draws on the combined expertise of our PROCO (audit, program, development, compliance) and MAESTRO (financial engineering and structuring) departments. This dual competence ensures that no commitment is made without first being assessed, structured and secured.

Stage 01
Origination & sourcing

Identification, qualification and selection of opportunities from our network of Guinean and international entrepreneurs, institutions and partners.

Stage 02
Due diligence & structuring

Full audit, financial modeling, legal and tax structuring of the vehicle. Calibration of the ticket size and exit terms.

Stage 03
Capital mobilization

Closing the funding round by combining international capital (funders, IFIs, banks) and local capital (Guinean banks, business angels, diaspora).

Stage 04
Operational support

Strengthening governance, monitoring performance, management support, networking and deployment of capacity-building programs.

Stage 05
Monitoring & exit

Structured reporting to investors, disciplined execution of the exit plan, and return of created value to capital providers.

Three business lines

Three gateways into Guinea's real economy.

Each business line addresses a specific segment of corporate financing, from supporting emerging SMEs to mobilizing structured real assets.

Business line 01

Investment programs for international funders

Operated through Gola Capital Partners SAS, a management company dedicated to the seed and acceleration financing of Guinean SMEs.

On behalf of development finance institutions, cooperation agencies and multilateral funders, MBM Capital operates investment programs targeting Guinean companies in their seed and acceleration phases. Our role: to structure, assess and deploy capital with the rigor required by international standards, and to monitor the portfolio throughout the cycle.

These programs mobilize both patient capital in quasi-equity and in-depth operational support for beneficiary companies: strengthening governance, structuring support functions, market access and networking with local financial players.

Ticket sizes, investment horizons and performance indicators are calibrated on a case-by-case basis, according to the mandate entrusted and the maturity of the target company.

Patient capital Seed & acceleration Operational support International-standard reporting
Business line 02

Direct investment in Guinean SMEs

Patient capital and structured debt, deployed from our own funds and capital mobilized from our partners.

Beyond institutional mandates, MBM Capital invests directly — from its own funds and those mobilized from its partners — in Guinean SMEs with proven growth potential and a tested business model. Ticket sizes are calibrated according to the company's needs and the nature of the funding round.

Our investments combine patient capital (equity, quasi-equity) and structured debt. Depending on the situation, we coordinate blended funding rounds bringing together business angels, international financial institutions, Guinean banks and diaspora investors — in order to create the financial and operational conditions for sustained growth.

Every direct investment is part of a post-investment support approach: presence on governance bodies, regular monitoring of performance indicators, and support for financial and operational structuring.

Business line 03

Structured real-asset management

Structured by the MAESTROdepartment, carried by the LAMKA.

Our MAESTRO department designs and structures investment vehicles backed by tangible real assets : real estate, agricultural-product inventories, corporate receivables. These vehicles are carried by the LAMKA brand and give subscribers clear exposure to Guinea's real economy.

The approach rests on three requirements: transparency of the underlying assets and their valuation, liquidity organized for unit holders, and operational discipline in monitoring the assets. Each product is governed by structured legal documentation and regular reporting to subscribers.

This business line meets a structural need of the Guinean financial market: offering savers, institutional investors and economic players investment products backed by tangible assets rather than purely financial promises.

The portfolio

Diversified exposure to Guinea's productive fabric.

The SMEs supported by MBM Capital — through its programs and direct investments — span six strategic sectors of the Guinean economy, each chosen for its growth potential and its contribution to local job creation.

Sector 01
Circular economy

Companies engaged in waste recovery and the transformation of recycled materials into value-added products. A segment with strong potential for environmental impact and job creation.

Sector 02
Clean energy

Operators deploying decentralized energy solutions — solar, mini-grids, high-efficiency equipment — suited to the needs of peri-urban and rural areas of Guinea.

Sector 03
Agri-food

Players in Guinean agricultural value chains: local processing of production, structuring of export value chains and expansion into West African regional markets.

Sector 04
Cosmetics

Guinean brands incorporating local raw materials — shea butter, vegetable oils, medicinal plants — into ranges positioned in the premium segments of local and international markets.

Sector 05
EdTech & training

Technical and vocational training platforms tailored to the needs of the Guinean labor market and to high-growth sectors: mining, energy, agro-industry, financial services and digital technologies.

Sector 06
Fish farming & aquaculture

Aquaculture projects structuring local production chains — tilapia, freshwater species — through short supply chains, in order to reduce dependence on imports and meet growing domestic demand.

Product focus

LAMKA Premium.

Proof through action of MAESTRO's expertise.

LAMKA Premium is the first flagship product of the MAESTRO factory. A real-estate investment vehicle of USD 3.5 million, it carries the LAMKA brand's inaugural program in the premium residential real-estate segment in Conakry.

Beyond the financial performance expected for subscribers, this project has a structuring purpose for MBM Capital: to demonstrate concretely, on a tangible and measurable asset, the rigor of our financial engineering, the quality of our legal structuring and our operational execution capacity.

Delivery of the inaugural program is scheduled for 31 December 2027.

Delivery — 31 December 2027

Key point 02
Transparency for subscribers

Structured legal documentation, periodic reporting to unit holders, and traceability of the program's progress and disbursements.

Key point 03
Demonstration of the MAESTRO model

LAMKA Premium is conceived as the first step in a structured range of real-asset products intended to progressively enrich the investment options available on the Guinean market.
