Unlocking Capital. Unleashing Growth.
Fueling small and medium-sized businesses with the resources they need to scale.
MaxBalo has already facilitated over $5 million in loans across Ghana, Kenya, Zambia, and Cameroon, providing over 1,200 small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) with the capital they need to hire, grow, and thrive. Our tailored financial structures help SMEs stabilize cash flow, expand production, and create lasting economic impact in their communities.
With rolling capital access and mentorship through our GIAC partnership, businesses don’t just receive funding; they gain a growth partner. As of 2025, MaxBalo-supported loans have helped create or save hundreds of jobs, setting a foundation for long-term economic mobility across Africa’s most promising markets.
Powering Women-Led Enterprises
Targeted capital and mentorship for women shaping Africa’s future.
At MaxBalo, empowering women entrepreneurs is a core part of our mission. A significant portion of our funding is directed toward female-owned businesses, helping women overcome the traditional barriers to financing that have limited their ability to grow.
These businesses receive not only working capital but also financial education, mentorship, and strategic support to strengthen long-term success. By focusing on women-led enterprises, MaxBalo is fostering inclusive economic growth that supports families, uplifts communities, and builds intergenerational opportunity.
Banking on the Unbanked
Delivering access to capital where no formal credit system exists.
Millions across Africa remain unbanked and excluded from formal financial systems. MaxBalo reaches these underserved individuals through our innovative Reseller Model by partnering with local agents who provide microloans directly to informal market participants.
These resellers are embedded in the communities they serve, increasing trust, compliance, and repayment. By offering low-cost, collateral-backed capital with structured oversight, MaxBalo is creating financial pathways where none previously existed.
MaxBalo has clearly defined ethical expectations for all Resellers. All prospective Resellers are vetted and must follow the ethical principles and loan requirements ensuring fair and equal treatment for all. This model not only drives entrepreneurship but also builds credit readiness and economic confidence among the most vulnerable populations.
