Ghana E-Two-Wheeler Manufacturer Credit Guarantee Fund

A structured credit guarantee facility that sits between Ghanaian banks and e-two-wheeler manufacturers/assemblers, absorbing 60-75% of loan default risk on working capital and inventory financing. The fund negotiates standardized loan terms with 3-5 partner banks, underwrites manufacturer creditworthiness using sector-specific metrics (unit sales velocity, customer deposit ratios, supply chain relationships), and pays claims within 30 days when defaults occur. Manufacturers access 12-24 month loans at 18-22% (vs. 28-35% unguaranteed rates or complete rejection today).

SERVICE

36 weeks • 70% confidence

Value Proposition

Banks get credit risk reduction and a pre-vetted pipeline of borrowers in a sector they currently avoid entirely; manufacturers get affordable, predictable capital for inventory and working capital without equity dilution or grant dependency. Beats existing gaps because it's not a loan product (which banks already have) but a *risk transfer mechanism* that makes existing bank products viable for this sector.

Target Audience

E-two-wheeler assemblers and manufacturers in Ghana with 6+ months operating history and $15k-$200k annual revenue; their bank lenders (Zenith Bank, GTBank, Access Bank Ghana)

Key Features

  • Sector-specific underwriting criteria (two-wheeler sales patterns, customer deposit behavior, supply chain stability) rather than generic SME scoring
  • Batch processing: quarterly cohort underwriting of 8-12 manufacturers to reduce per-loan admin costs
  • Standardized loan agreement template negotiated with partner banks to reduce legal friction
  • And more, with full implementation detail...

Tech Stack

Loan loss modeling software (Excel + Python or Alteryx for scenario analysis) Ghanaian corporate law expertise (local lawyer for guarantee agreement) Bank relationship management (Salesforce or Pipedrive for lender pipeline tracking) Basic underwriting database (Airtable or Google Sheets initially; scale to Salesforce if >$5M AUM)

Original Problem

Electric two-wheeler manufacturers in Ghana cannot access growth capital due to financing gaps and inconsistent government incentives

Manufacturers, assemblers, and retailers in Ghana's electric two-wheeler industry face seven critical financing constraints that prevent them from scaling operations. Government import duty waivers are announced but not implemented, and businesses struggle to transition from grant funding to sustainable follow-on investment, leaving them unable to secure the capital needed to grow. Current financial institutions lack products tailored to this emerging sector, creating a capital access crisis that directly threatens business survival and industry expansion.
